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 153.
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 multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 153 can be written as 153³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 153 × 153 × 153.
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. 153³ = 153 × 153 × 153
Step 2: You get 3,581,853 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 153 is 3,581,853.
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 153 into two parts. Let a = 150 and b = 3, so a + b = 153
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 150³ 3a²b = 3 × 150² × 3 3ab² = 3 × 150 × 3² b³ = 3³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(150 + 3)³ = 150³ + 3 × 150² × 3 + 3 × 150 × 3² + 3³
153³ = 3,375,000 + 202,500 + 4,050 + 27
153³ = 3,581,853
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 153 is 3,581,853.
To find the cube of 153 using a calculator, input the number 153 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 153 × 153 × 153. This operation calculates the value of 153³, resulting in 3,581,853. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 followed by 5 and 3
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 153³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 153 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 3,581,853.
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 153?
The cube of 153 is 3,581,853 and the cube root of 153 is approximately 5.334.
First, let’s find the cube of 153.
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 153³ = 3,581,853
Next, we must find the cube root of 153 We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ∛153 ≈ 5.334
Hence, the cube of 153 is 3,581,853 and the cube root of 153 is approximately 5.334.
If the side length of the cube is 153 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 3,581,853 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 153 for the side length: V = 153³ = 3,581,853 cm³.
How much larger is 153³ than 100³?
153³ – 100³ = 3,481,853.
First, find the cube of 153³, which is 3,581,853
Next, find the cube of 100³, which is 1,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 3,581,853 – 1,000,000 = 3,481,853
Therefore, 153³ is 3,481,853 larger than 100³.
If a cube with a side length of 153 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 50 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 153 cm is 3,581,853 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 153 means multiplying 153 by itself three times: 153 × 153 = 23,409, and then 23,409 × 153 = 3,581,853.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 3,581,853 cm³.
Estimate the cube 152.5 using the cube 153.
The cube of 152.5 is approximately 3,581,853.
First, identify the cube of 153, The cube of 153 is 153³ = 3,581,853.
Since 152.5 is only a tiny bit less than 153, the cube of 152.5 will be almost the same as the cube of 153.
The cube of 152.5 is approximately 3,581,853 because the difference between 152.5 and 153 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 3,581,853.
