When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 167.
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 167 can be written as 167³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 167 × 167 × 167.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: the 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 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. 167³ = 167 × 167 × 167
Step 2: You get 4,658,063 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 167 is 4,658,063.
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 167 into two parts. Let a = 160 and b = 7, so a + b = 167
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 160³
3a²b = 3 × 160² × 7
3ab² = 3 × 160 × 7²
b³ = 7³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(160 + 7)³ = 160³ + 3 × 160² × 7 + 3 × 160 × 7² + 7³
167³ = 4,096,000 + 537,600 + 23,520 + 343
167³ = 4,658,063
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 167 is 4,658,063.
To find the cube of 167 using a calculator, input the number 167 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 167 × 167 × 167. This operation calculates the value of 167³, resulting in 4,658,063. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1, 6, followed by 7
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 167³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 167 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 4,658,063.
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 167?
The cube of 167 is 4,658,063 and the cube root of 167 is approximately 5.5.
First, let’s find the cube of 167. 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 167³ = 4,658,063
Next, we must find the cube root of 167 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 ∛167 ≈ 5.5
Hence the cube of 167 is 4,658,063 and the cube root of 167 is approximately 5.5.
If the side length of a cube is 167 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 4,658,063 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 167 for the side length: V = 167³ = 4,658,063 cm³.
How much larger is 167³ than 160³?
167³ – 160³ = 562,063.
First, find the cube of 167³, which is 4,658,063 Next, find the cube of 160³, which is 4,096,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 4,658,063 – 4,096,000 = 562,063
Therefore, 167³ is 562,063 larger than 160³.
If a cube with a side length of 167 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 7 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 167 cm is 4,658,063 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 167 means multiplying 167 by itself three times: 167 × 167 = 27,889, and then 27,889 × 167 = 4,658,063.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 4,658,063 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 166.9 using the cube of 167.
The cube of 166.9 is approximately 4,658,063.
First, identify the cube of 167, The cube of 167 is 167³ = 4,658,063.
Since 166.9 is only a tiny bit less than 167, the cube of 166.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 167.
The cube of 166.9 is approximately 4,658,063 because the difference between 166.9 and 167 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 4,658,063.
