Cube of 248

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 248 can be written as 248³, which is the exponential form.

Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 248 × 248 × 248.

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 cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.

• By Multiplication Method
   
• Using a Formula (a³)
   
• Using a Calculator

The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of a number multiplied by itself three times. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.

Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. 248³ = 248 × 248 × 248

Step 2: You get 15,263,552 as the answer.

Hence, the cube of 248 is 15,263,552.

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 248 into two parts, as 200 and 48. Let a = 200 and b = 48, so a + b = 248

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

Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 200³ 3a²b = 3 × 200² × 48 3ab² = 3 × 200 × 48² b³ = 48³

Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (200 + 48)³ = 200³ + 3 × 200² × 48 + 3 × 200 × 48² + 48³ 248³ = 8,000,000 + 5,760,000 + 1,382,400 + 110,592 248³ = 15,263,552

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 248 is 15,263,552.

To find the cube of 248 using a calculator, input the number 248 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 248 × 248 × 248. This operation calculates the value of 248³, resulting in 15,263,552. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.

Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.

Step 2: Press 2, 4, and 8

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 248³.

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 248 three times manually.

Step 5: The calculator will display 15,263,552.

• 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, 248³ represents 248 × 248 × 248 equals 15,263,552.

• Multiplication Method: A mathematical process used to find the product of a number multiplied by itself three times.

• Volume Formula: In the context of cubes, the volume is calculated using the formula V = side³, where 'side' is the length of one side of the cube.
