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 1052.
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 1052 can be written as 1052³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1052 × 1052 × 1052.
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 you 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 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. 1052³ = 1052 × 1052 × 1052
Step 2: You get 1,164,468,608 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1052 is 1,164,468,608.
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 1052 into two parts, as a and b. Let a = 1050 and b = 2, so a + b = 1052
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1050³ 3a²b = 3 × 1050² × 2 3ab² = 3 × 1050 × 2² b³ = 2³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1050 + 2)³ = 1050³ + 3 × 1050² × 2 + 3 × 1050 × 4 + 8 1052³ = 1,157,625,000 + 6,615,000 + 12,600 + 8 1052³ = 1,164,468,608
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1052 is 1,164,468,608.
To find the cube of 1052 using a calculator, input the number 1052 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1052 × 1052 × 1052. This operation calculates the value of 1052³, resulting in 1,164,468,608. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 followed by 0, 5, and 2
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1052³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1052 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,164,468,608.
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 might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might happen:
What is the cube and cube root of 1052?
The cube of 1052 is 1,164,468,608 and the cube root of 1052 is approximately 10.120.
First, let’s find the cube of 1052. 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 1052³ = 1,164,468,608.
Next, we must find the cube root of 1052. 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√1052 ≈ 10.120.
Hence the cube of 1052 is 1,164,468,608 and the cube root of 1052 is approximately 10.120.
If the side length of a cube is 1052 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,164,468,608 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 1052 for the side length: V = 1052³ = 1,164,468,608 cm³.
How much larger is 1052³ than 1000³?
1052³ – 1000³ = 164,468,608.
First, find the cube of 1052, which is 1,164,468,608.
Next, find the cube of 1000, which is 1,000,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,164,468,608 – 1,000,000,000 = 164,468,608.
Therefore, 1052³ is 164,468,608 larger than 1000³.
If a cube with a side length of 1052 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 50 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1052 cm is significantly larger: 1,164,468,608 cm³ compared to 125,000 cm³.
To find the volume of the cube with side length 1052 cm, we multiply the side length by itself three times. Cubing 1052 means multiplying 1052 by itself three times: 1052 × 1052 × 1052 = 1,164,468,608 cm³.
Compared to a cube with a side length of 50 cm (volume = 50³ = 125,000 cm³), the larger cube's volume is significantly greater.
Estimate the cube of 1051 using the cube of 1052.
The cube of 1051 is approximately 1,161,493,051.
First, identify the cube of 1052, which is 1,164,468,608.
Since 1051 is only slightly less than 1052, the cube of 1051 will be slightly less than the cube of 1052.
The cube of 1051 is approximately 1,161,493,051, as the difference between 1051 and 1052 is small.
So, we can approximate the value based on the smaller difference.
