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 cubes of 326.
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 326 can be written as 326³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 326 × 326 × 326.
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 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. 326³ = 326 × 326 × 326
Step 2: You get 34,657,976 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 326 is 34,657,976.
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 326 into two parts. Let a = 320 and b = 6, so a + b = 326
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 320³
3a²b = 3 × 320² × 6
3ab² = 3 × 320 × 6²
b³ = 6³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(320 + 6)³ = 320³ + 3 × 320² × 6 + 3 × 320 × 6² + 6³
326³ = 32,768,000 + 1,843,200 + 34,560 + 216
326³ = 34,657,976
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 326 is 34,657,976.
To find the cube of 326 using a calculator, input the number 326 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 326 × 326 × 326. This operation calculates the value of 326³, resulting in 34,657,976. 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 6
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 326³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 326 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 34,657,976.
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 326?
The cube of 326 is 34,657,976 and the cube root of 326 is approximately 6.903.
First, let’s find the cube of 326.
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 326³ = 34,657,976.
Next, we must find the cube root of 326.
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√326 ≈ 6.903.
Hence, the cube of 326 is 34,657,976 and the cube root of 326 is approximately 6.903.
If the side length of the cube is 326 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 34,657,976 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 326 for the side length: V = 326³ = 34,657,976 cm³.
How much larger is 326³ than 320³?
326³ – 320³ = 1,889,976.
First find the cube of 326, which is 34,657,976.
Next, find the cube of 320, which is 32,768,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 34,657,976 – 32,768,000 = 1,889,976.
Therefore, 326³ is 1,889,976 larger than 320³.
If a cube with a side length of 326 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 6 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 326 cm is 34,657,976 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 326 means multiplying 326 by itself three times: 326 × 326 = 106,276, and then 106,276 × 326 = 34,657,976.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 34,657,976 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 325 using the cube of 326.
The cube of 325 is approximately 34,328,125.
First, identify the cube of 326, The cube of 326 is 326³ = 34,657,976.
Since 325 is slightly less than 326, the cube of 325 will be slightly less than the cube of 326.
The cube of 325 is approximately 34,328,125 because it is very close to 326.
