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 838.
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 838 can be written as 838³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 838 × 838 × 838.
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. By Multiplication Method Using a Formula Using a Calculator
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. 838³ = 838 × 838 × 838 Step 2: You get 588,638,072 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 838 is 588,638,072.
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 838 into two parts. Let a = 800 and b = 38, so a + b = 838 Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 800³ 3a²b = 3 × 800² × 38 3ab² = 3 × 800 × 38² b³ = 38³ Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (800 + 38)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 38 + 3 × 800 × 38² + 38³ 838³ = 512000000 + 7296000 + 3457440 + 54872 838³ = 588,638,072 Step 5: Hence, the cube of 838 is 588,638,072.
To find the cube of 838 using a calculator, input the number 838 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 838 × 838 × 838. This operation calculates the value of 838³, resulting in 588,638,072. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation. Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly. Step 2: Press 8 followed by 3 and 8 Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 838³. Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 838 three times manually. Step 5: The calculator will display 588,638,072.
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.
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 838?
The cube of 838 is 588,638,072 and the cube root of 838 is approximately 9.434.
First, let’s find the cube of 838. 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 838³ = 588,638,072. Next, we must find the cube root of 838. We know that the cube root of a number 'x' is such that ∛x = y, where 'x' is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number. So, we get ∛838 ≈ 9.434. Hence, the cube of 838 is 588,638,072 and the cube root of 838 is approximately 9.434.
If the side length of the cube is 838 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 588,638,072 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 838 for the side length: V = 838³ = 588,638,072 cm³.
How much larger is 838³ than 500³?
838³ – 500³ = 588,638,072 – 125,000,000 = 463,638,072.
First, find the cube of 838³, which is 588,638,072. Next, find the cube of 500³, which is 125,000,000. Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 588,638,072 – 125,000,000 = 463,638,072. Therefore, 838³ is 463,638,072 larger than 500³.
If a cube with a side length of 838 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 400 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 838 cm is 588,638,072 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 838 means multiplying 838 by itself three times: 838 × 838 = 702,244, and then 702,244 × 838 = 588,638,072. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 588,638,072 cm³.
Estimate the cube 837.5 using the cube of 838.
The cube of 837.5 is approximately 588,638,072.
First, identify the cube of 838. The cube of 838 is 838³ = 588,638,072. Since 837.5 is only slightly less than 838, the cube of 837.5 will be almost the same as the cube of 838. The cube of 837.5 is approximately 588,638,072 because the difference between 837.5 and 838 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 588,638,072.
Binomial Formula: It is an algebraic expression used to expand the powers of a number, written as (a + b)ⁿ, where ‘n’ is a positive integer raised to the base. The formula is used to find the square and cube of a number. Cube of a Number: Multiplying a number by itself three times is called the cube of a number. Exponential Form: It is a way of expressing numbers using a base and an exponent (or power), where the exponent value indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ represents 2 × 2 × 2 equals 8. Perfect Cube: A number that is the cube of an integer. Volume: The amount of space occupied by a 3-dimensional object, calculated for a cube as Side³.
