Cube of 301

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 301.

Cube of 301

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 301 can be written as 301³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 301 × 301 × 301.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 301

In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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

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. 301³ = 301 × 301 × 301

 

Step 2: You get 27,273,901 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 301 is 27,273,901.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Formula (a³)

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 301 into two parts. Let a = 300 and b = 1, so a + b = 301

 

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

 

Step 3: Calculate each term

 

a³ = 300³

3a²b = 3 × 300² × 1

3ab² = 3 × 300 × 1²

b³ = 1³

 

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

 

(300 + 1)³ = 300³ + 3 × 300² × 1 + 3 × 300 × 1² + 1³

301³ = 27,000,000 + 270,000 + 900 + 1

301³ = 27,273,901

 

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 301 is 27,273,901.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of 301 using a calculator, input the number 301 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 301 × 301 × 301. This operation calculates the value of 301³, resulting in 27,273,901. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.

 

Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.

 

Step 2: Press 3 followed by 0 and 1

 

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 301³.

 

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 301 three times manually.

 

Step 5: The calculator will display 27,273,901.

Problem 1

What is the cube and cube root of 301?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 301 is 27,273,901 and the cube root of 301 is approximately 6.669.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of 301.

 

We know that the cube of a number is such that x³ = y. Where 'x' is the given number, and 'y' is the cubed value of that number.

 

So, we get 301³ = 27,273,901.

 

Next, we must find the cube root of 301. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is such that ∛x = y.

 

Where ‘x’ is the given number, and 'y' is the cube root value of the number.

 

So, we get ∛301 ≈ 6.669.

 

Hence the cube of 301 is 27,273,901 and the cube root of 301 is approximately 6.669.

Problem 2

If the side length of the cube is 301 cm, what is the volume?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume is 27,273,901 cm³.

Explanation

Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.

 

Substitute 301 for the side length: V = 301³ = 27,273,901 cm³.

Problem 3

How much larger is 301³ than 201³?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

301³ – 201³ = 18,192,900.

Explanation

First, find the cube of 301, which is 27,273,901.

 

Next, find the cube of 201, which is 8,881,001.

 

Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.

 

27,273,901 – 8,881,001 = 18,192,900.

 

Therefore, 301³ is 18,192,900 larger than 201³.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of 301 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 101 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of the cube with a side length of 301 cm is much larger.

Explanation

To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).

 

Cubing 301 means multiplying 301 by itself three times: 301 × 301 = 90,601, and then 90,601 × 301 = 27,273,901.

 

The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.

 

Therefore, the volume of the cube is 27,273,901 cm³.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube of 300.5 using the cube of 301.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 300.5 is approximately 27,273,901.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of 301.

 

The cube of 301 is 301³ = 27,273,901.

 

Since 300.5 is only a tiny bit less than 301, the cube of 300.5 will be almost the same as the cube of 301.

 

The cube of 300.5 is approximately 27,273,901 because the difference between 300.5 and 301 is very small.

 

So, we can approximate the value as 27,273,901.
