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 315.
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 315 can be written as 315³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 315 × 315 × 315.
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 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 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. 315³ = 315 × 315 × 315
Step 2: You get 31,260,375 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 315 is 31,260,375.
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 315 into two parts, as 300 and 15. Let a = 300 and b = 15, so a + b = 315
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 300³
3a²b = 3 × 300² × 15
3ab² = 3 × 300 × 15²
b³ = 15³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(300 + 15)³ = 300³ + 3 × 300² × 15 + 3 × 300 × 15² + 15³
315³ = 27,000,000 + 4,050,000 + 202,500 + 3,375
315³ = 31,260,375
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 315 is 31,260,375.
To find the cube of 315 using a calculator, input the number 315 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 315 × 315 × 315. This operation calculates the value of 315³, resulting in 31,260,375. 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 5
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 315³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 315 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 31,260,375.
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 315?
The cube of 315 is 31,260,375 and the cube root of 315 is approximately 6.87.
First, let’s find the cube of 315.
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 315³ = 31,260,375.
Next, we must find the cube root of 315. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ³√x = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ³√315 ≈ 6.87.
Hence the cube of 315 is 31,260,375, and the cube root of 315 is approximately 6.87.
If the side length of a cube is 315 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 31,260,375 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V= Side³.
Substitute 315 for the side length: V = 315³ = 31,260,375 cm³.
How much larger is 315³ than 300³?
315³ – 300³ = 4,260,375.
First, find the cube of 315, which is 31,260,375.
Next, find the cube of 300, which is 27,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
31,260,375 – 27,000,000 = 4,260,375.
Therefore, 315³ is 4,260,375 larger than 300³.
If a cube with a side length of 315 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 150 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 315 cm is 31,260,375 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 315 means multiplying 315 by itself three times: 315 × 315 = 99,225, and then 99,225 × 315 = 31,260,375.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 31,260,375 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 314.9 using the cube of 315.
The cube of 314.9 is approximately 31,260,375.
First, identify the cube of 315, The cube of 315 is 315³ = 31,260,375.
Since 314.9 is only a tiny bit less than 315, the cube of 314.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 315.
The cube of 314.9 is approximately 31,260,375 because the difference between 314.9 and 315 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 31,260,375.
