When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used in comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 1388.
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 1388 can be written as 1388³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1388 × 1388 × 1388.
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. 1388³ = 1388 × 1388 × 1388
Step 2: You get 2,672,672,672 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1388 is 2,672,672,672.
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 1388 into two parts, as a and b. Let a = 1300 and b = 88, so a + b = 1388
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1300³ 3a²b = 3 × 1300² × 88 3ab² = 3 × 1300 × 88² b³ = 88³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1300 + 88)³ = 1300³ + 3 × 1300² × 88 + 3 × 1300 × 88² + 88³ 1388³ = 2,197,000,000 + 448,800,000 + 299,200,000 + 681,472 1388³ = 2,672,672,672
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1388 is 2,672,672,672.
To find the cube of 1388 using a calculator, input the number 1388 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1388 × 1388 × 1388.
This operation calculates the value of 1388³, resulting in 2,672,672,672.
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 3, 8, 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1388³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1388 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 2,672,672,672.
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 1388?
The cube of 1388 is 2,672,672,672 and the cube root of 1388 is approximately 11.080.
First, let’s find the cube of 1388. We know that 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 1388³ = 2,672,672,672 Next, we must find the cube root of 1388
We know that cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number So, we get ∛1388 ≈ 11.080
Hence the cube of 1388 is 2,672,672,672 and the cube root of 1388 is approximately 11.080.
If the side length of the cube is 1388 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 2,672,672,672 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 1388 for the side length: V = 1388³ = 2,672,672,672 cm³.
How much larger is 1388³ than 1000³?
1388³ – 1000³ = 1,672,672,672.
First, find the cube of 1388, that is 2,672,672,672
Next, find the cube of 1000, which is 1,000,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 2,672,672,672 – 1,000,000,000 = 1,672,672,672
Therefore, 1388³ is 1,672,672,672 larger than 1000³.
If a cube with a side length of 1388 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 200 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1388 cm is 2,672,672,672 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1388 means multiplying 1388 by itself three times: 1388 × 1388 = 1,928,944, and then 1,928,944 × 1388 = 2,672,672,672.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 2,672,672,672 cm³.
Estimate the cube 1387.9 using the cube 1388.
The cube of 1387.9 is approximately 2,672,672,672.
First, identify the cube of 1388, The cube of 1388 is 1388³ = 2,672,672,672. Since 1387.9 is only a tiny bit less than 1388, the cube of 1387.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 1388.
The cube of 1387.9 is approximately 2,672,672,672 because the difference between 1387.9 and 1388 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 2,672,672,672.
