Cube of 196

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 196 can be written as 196³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 196 × 196 × 196.

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.

• By Multiplication Method
• Using a Formula
• Using a Calculator

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. 196³ = 196 × 196 × 196

Step 2: You get 7,529,536 as the answer.

Hence, the cube of 196 is 7,529,536.

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 196 into two parts. Let a = 190 and b = 6, so a + b = 196.

Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.

Step 3: Calculate each term. a³ = 190³ , 3a²b = 3 × 190² × 6 , 3ab² = 3 × 190 × 6² , b³ = 6³

Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

(190 + 6)³ = 190³ + 3 × 190² × 6 + 3 × 190 × 6² + 6³ 196³

= 6,859,000 + 648,600 + 20,520 + 216

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 196 is 7,529,536.

To find the cube of 196 using a calculator, input the number 196 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 196 × 196 × 196. This operation calculates the value of 196³, resulting in 7,529,536. 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 9 and 6.

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 196³.

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 196 three times manually.

Step 5: The calculator will display 7,529,536.

• The cube of any even number is always even, while the cube of any odd number is always odd.
   
• The product of two or more perfect cube numbers is always a perfect cube.
   
• A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of three identical groups of equal prime factors.

• Binomial Formula: It is an algebraic expression used to expand the powers of a number, written as (a + b)ⁿ, where ‘n’ is a positive integer raised to the base. The formula is used to find the square and cube of a number.
  
   
• Cube of a Number: Multiplying a number by itself three times is called the cube of a number.
  
   
• Exponential Form: It is a way of expressing numbers using a base and an exponent (or power), where the exponent value indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ represents 2 × 2 × 2 equals 8.
  
   
• Perfect Cube: A number that can be expressed as the cube of an integer.
  
   
• Volume of a Cube: The amount of space occupied by a cube, calculated as the side length cubed.
