A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various uses in real life, such as finding the volume of cube-shaped objects and designing structures. We will now find the cube root of 857375 and explain the methods used.
We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓.
In exponential form, ∛857375 is written as 857375(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 857375, then y3 can be 857375. Since the cube root of 857375 is an exact value, it is 95.
Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 857375. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
To find the cube root of 857375, which is a perfect cube, we can use the prime factorization method.
Let's find the cube root of 857375 using the prime factorization method.
First, we need to find the prime factors of 857375: 857375 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 7 × 7 × 7 × 11
Grouping the prime factors in triples, we get: (5 × 5 × 5) × (7 × 7 × 7) × 11
Taking one factor from each group, we have: 5 × 7 × 11 = 385
Thus, the cube root of 857375 is 95.
Finding the perfect cube of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes the students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped toy that has a total volume of 857375 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the box equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛857375 = 95 units
To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume. Therefore, the side length of the cube is exactly 95 units.
A company manufactures 857375 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 500000 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 357375 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount: 857375 - 500000 = 357375 cubic meters.
A bottle holds 857375 cubic meters of volume. Another bottle holds a volume of 20000 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?
The total volume of the combined bottles is 877375 cubic meters.
Explanation: Let’s add the volume of both bottles: 857375 + 20000 = 877375 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 857375 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × 95 = 190 The cube of 190 = 6859000
When we multiply the cube root of 857375 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.
Find ∛(4306875 + 4266875).
∛(4306875 + 4266875) = ∛8573750 ≈ 204.5
As shown in the question ∛(4306875 + 4266875), we can simplify that by adding them. So, 4306875 + 4266875 = 8573750. Then we use this step: ∛8573750 ≈ 204.5 to get the answer.
Cube root: The number that is multiplied three times by itself to get the given number is the cube root of that number. Perfect cube: A number is a perfect cube when it is the product of multiplying a number three times by itself. A perfect cube always results in a whole number. For example, 95 × 95 × 95 = 857375, therefore, 857375 is a perfect cube. Exponent: The exponent form of the number denotes the number of times a number can be multiplied by itself. In a^(1/3), ⅓ is the exponent which denotes the cube root of a. Radical sign: The symbol that is used to represent a root which is expressed as (∛). Rational number: A number that can be expressed as a fraction of two integers. The cube root of 857375 is rational because it is a whole number, 95.
