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 the cube of 312.
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 312 can be written as 312³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 312 × 312 × 312.
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.
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. 312³ = 312 × 312 × 312
Step 2: You get 30,389,088 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 312 is 30,389,088.
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 312 into two parts. Let a = 300 and b = 12, so a + b = 312
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 300³
3a²b = 3 × 300² × 12
3ab² = 3 × 300 × 12²
b³ = 12³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(300 + 12)³ = 300³ + 3 × 300² × 12 + 3 × 300 × 12² + 12³
312³ = 27,000,000 + 3,240,000 + 1,296,000 + 1,728
312³ = 30,389,088
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 312 is 30,389,088.
To find the cube of 312 using a calculator, input the number 312 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 312 × 312 × 312. This operation calculates the value of 312³, resulting in 30,389,088. 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 1 and 2
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 312³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 312 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 30,389,088.
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 312?
The cube of 312 is 30,389,088 and the cube root of 312 is approximately 6.879.
First, let’s find the cube of 312.
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 312³ = 30,389,088
Next, we must find the cube root of 312 We know that 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 ∛312 ≈ 6.879
Hence, the cube of 312 is 30,389,088 and the cube root of 312 is approximately 6.879.
If the side length of the cube is 312 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 30,389,088 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 312 for the side length: V = 312³ = 30,389,088 cm³.
How much larger is 312³ than 300³?
312³ – 300³ = 3,389,088.
First find the cube of 312, that is 30,389,088 Next, find the cube of 300, which is 27,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 30,389,088 – 27,000,000 = 3,389,088
Therefore, 312³ is 3,389,088 larger than 300³.
If a cube with a side length of 312 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 12 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 312 cm is 30,389,088 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 312 means multiplying 312 by itself three times: 312 × 312 = 97,344, and then 97,344 × 312 = 30,389,088.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 30,389,088 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 311.9 using the cube of 312.
The cube of 311.9 is approximately 30,389,088.
First, identify the cube of 312, The cube of 312 is 312³ = 30,389,088.
Since 311.9 is only a tiny bit less than 312, the cube of 311.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 312.
The cube of 311.9 is approximately 30,389,088 because the difference between 311.9 and 312 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 30,389,088.
