When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 1039.
A cube number is a value obtained by raising a number to the power of 3, or by multiplying the number by itself three times. When you cube a positive number, the result is always positive. When you cube a negative number, the result is always negative. This is because a negative number by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 1039 can be written as 1039³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1039 × 1039 × 1039.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help kids to cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.
The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of two numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated addition. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.
Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. 1039³ = 1039 × 1039 × 1039
Step 2: You get 1,120,553,119 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1039 is 1,120,553,119.
The formula (a + b)³ is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
Step 1: Split the number 1039 into two parts. Let a = 1000 and b = 39, so a + b = 1039
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 1000³
3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 39
3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 39²
b³ = 39³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(1000 + 39)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 39 + 3 × 1000 × 39² + 39³
1039³ = 1,000,000,000 + 117,000,000 + 4,563,000 + 59,319
1039³ = 1,120,553,319
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1039 is 1,120,553,319.
To find the cube of 1039 using a calculator, input the number 1039 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1039 × 1039 × 1039. This operation calculates the value of 1039³, resulting in 1,120,553,119. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Input 1039
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1039³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1039 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,120,553,119.
There are some typical errors that kids might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that kids might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 1039?
The cube of 1039 is 1,120,553,119 and the cube root of 1039 is approximately 10.127.
First, let’s find the cube of 1039.
We know that the cube of a number, such that x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 1039³ = 1,120,553,119
Next, we must find the cube root of 1039
We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ³√x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ³√1039 ≈ 10.127
Hence the cube of 1039 is 1,120,553,119 and the cube root of 1039 is approximately 10.127.
If the side length of the cube is 1039 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,120,553,119 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1039 for the side length: V = 1039³ = 1,120,553,119 cm³.
How much larger is 1039³ than 639³?
1039³ – 639³ = 895,569,551.
First, find the cube of 1039³, that is 1,120,553,119
Next, find the cube of 639³, which is 224,983,568
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,120,553,119 – 224,983,568 = 895,569,551
Therefore, 1039³ is 895,569,551 larger than 639³.
If a cube with a side length of 1039 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1039 cm is 1,120,553,119 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1039 means multiplying 1039 by itself three times: 1039 × 1039 = 1,080,721, and then 1,080,721 × 1039 = 1,120,553,119.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,120,553,119 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1038 using the cube of 1039.
The cube of 1038 is approximately 1,117,503,352.
First, identify the cube of 1039, The cube of 1039 is 1039³ = 1,120,553,119.
Since 1038 is only a tiny bit less than 1039, the cube of 1038 will be almost the same as the cube of 1039.
The cube of 1038 is approximately 1,117,503,352 because the difference between 1038 and 1039 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,117,503,352.
