When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 324.
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 324 can be written as 324³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 324 × 324 × 324.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as the 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.
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. 324³ = 324 × 324 × 324
Step 2: You get 34,012,224 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 324 is 34,012,224.
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 324 into two parts. Let a = 320 and b = 4, so a + b = 324
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 320³
3a²b = 3 × 320² × 4
3ab² = 3 × 320 × 4²
b³ = 4³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(320 + 4)³ = 320³ + 3 × 320² × 4 + 3 × 320 × 4² + 4³
324³ = 32,768,000 + 1,228,800 + 15,360 + 64
324³ = 34,012,224
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 324 is 34,012,224.
To find the cube of 324 using a calculator, input the number 324 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 324 × 324 × 324. This operation calculates the value of 324³, resulting in 34,012,224. 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 2 and 4
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 324³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 324 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 34,012,224.
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 324?
The cube of 324 is 34,012,224 and the cube root of 324 is approximately 6.903.
First, let’s find the cube of 324.
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 324³ = 34,012,224.
Next, we must find the cube root of 324.
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√324 ≈ 6.903.
Hence, the cube of 324 is 34,012,224 and the cube root of 324 is approximately 6.903.
If the side length of the cube is 324 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 34,012,224 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 324 for the side length: V = 324³ = 34,012,224 cm³.
How much larger is 324³ than 320³?
324³ – 320³ = 1,244,224.
First find the cube of 324³, which is 34,012,224. Next, find the cube of 320³, which is 32,768,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
34,012,224 – 32,768,000 = 1,244,224.
Therefore, 324³ is 1,244,224 larger than 320³.
If a cube with a side length of 324 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 4 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 324 cm is 34,012,224 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 324 means multiplying 324 by itself three times: 324 × 324 = 104,976, and then 104,976 × 324 = 34,012,224.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 34,012,224 cm³.
Estimate the cube 323.9 using the cube 324.
The cube of 323.9 is approximately 34,012,224.
First, identify the cube of 324, The cube of 324 is 324³ = 34,012,224.
Since 323.9 is only a tiny bit less than 324, the cube of 323.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 324.
The cube of 323.9 is approximately 34,012,224 because the difference between 323.9 and 324 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 34,012,224.
