Cube of 316

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 the cube of 316.

Cube of 316

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 316 can be written as (3163), which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 316 × 316 × 316.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 316

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 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. 3163 = 316 x 316 x  316 

 

Step 2: You get 31,623,936 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 316 is 31,623,936.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Formula (\(a^3\))

The formula (a + b)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 316 into two parts, as 300 and 16. Let (a = 300) and (b = 16), so (a + b = 316).

 

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

 

Step 3: Calculate each term - (a3 = 3003

 

(3a2b = 3 x 3002 x 16) 

 

(3ab2 = 3 x 300 x 162

 

(b3 = 163)

 

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

 

(300 + 16)3 = 3003 + 3 x 3002 x 16 + 3 x 300 x 162 + 163

 

3163 = 27,000,000 + 4,320,000 + 230,400 + 4,096

 

3163 = 31,623,936

 

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 316 is 31,623,936.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of 316 using a calculator, input the number 316 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 316 × 316 × 316. This operation calculates the value of (3163), resulting in 31,623,936. 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 6.

 

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate (3163).

 

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 316 three times manually.

 

Step 5: The calculator will display 31,623,936.

Tips and Tricks for the Cube of 316

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.

Problem 1

What is the cube and cube root of 316?

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

The cube of 316 is 31,623,936, and the cube root of 316 is approximately 6.872.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of 316.

 

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 3163 = 31,623,936.

 

Next, we must find the cube root of 316. We know that the 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 ∛316 = 6.872 .

 

Hence the cube of 316 is 31,623,936, and the cube root of 316 is approximately 6.872.

Problem 2

If the side length of a cube is 316 cm, what is the volume?

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

The volume is 31,623,936 cm³.

Explanation

Use the volume formula for a cube  V = Side3 .

 

Substitute 316 for the side length:  V = 3163 = 31,623,936 , cm3 .

Problem 3

How much larger is \(316^3\) than \(300^3\)?

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

3163 - 3003 = 4,623,936.

Explanation

First, find the cube of 3163, that is 31,623,936

 

Next, find the cube of 3003, which is 27,000,000

 

Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 31,623,936 - 27,000,000 = 4,623,936.

 

Therefore, 3163 is 4,623,936 larger than 3003.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of 316 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 150 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 316 cm is 31,623,936 cm³.

Explanation

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

 

Cubing 316 means multiplying 316 by itself three times: 316 × 316 = 99,856, and then 99,856 × 316 = 31,623,936.

 

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

 

Therefore, the volume of the cube is 31,623,936 cm³.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube of 315.5 using the cube of 316.

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

The cube of 315.5 is approximately 31,623,936.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of 316, The cube of 316 is 3163 = 31,623,936.

 

Since 315.5 is only slightly less than 316, the cube of 315.5 will be almost the same as the cube of 316.

 

The cube of 315.5 is approximately 31,623,936 because the difference between 315.5 and 316 is very small.

 

So, we can approximate the value as 31,623,936.
