Cube of 417

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

When a number is multiplied by itself three times, 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 417.

Cube of 417

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 multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number.

 

The cube of 417 can be written as 417³, which is the exponential form, or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 417 × 417 × 417.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 417

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 to cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.

By Multiplication Method

The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of numbers by combining them through repeated multiplication. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.

 

Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. 417³ = 417 × 417 × 417

 

Step 2: You get 72,588,513 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 417 is 72,588,513.

Using a Formula (a³)

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 417 into two parts, as a and b. Let a = 400 and b = 17, so a + b = 417

 

Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

 

Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 400³ 3a²b = 3 × 400² × 17 3ab² = 3 × 400 × 17² b³ = 17³

 

Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (400 + 17)³ = 400³ + 3 × 400² × 17 + 3 × 400 × 17² + 17³ 417³ = 64,000,000 + 8,160,000 + 346,800 + 4,913 417³ = 72,588,513

 

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 417 is 72,588,513.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of 417 using a calculator, input the number 417 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 417 × 417 × 417. This operation calculates the value of 417³, resulting in 72,588,513. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.

 

Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.

 

Step 2: Press 4 followed by 1 and 7

 

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 417³.

 

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 417 three times manually.

 

Step 5: The calculator will display 72,588,513.

Tips and Tricks for the Cube of 417

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.

Problem 1

What is the cube and cube root of 417?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 417 is 72,588,513 and the cube root of 417 is approximately 7.481.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of 417.

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 417³ = 72,588,513. Next, we must find the cube root of 417.

We know that the 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 ∛417 ≈ 7.481.

Hence, the cube of 417 is 72,588,513 and the cube root of 417 is approximately 7.481.

Problem 2

If the side length of the cube is 417 cm, what is the volume?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume is 72,588,513 cm³.

Explanation

Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.

Substitute 417 for the side length: V = 417³ = 72,588,513 cm³.

Problem 3

How much larger is 417³ than 215³?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

417³ – 215³ = 71,031,248.

Explanation

First, find the cube of 417, which is 72,588,513.

Next, find the cube of 215, which is 1,557,265.

Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 72,588,513 – 1,557,265 = 71,031,248.

Therefore, 417³ is 71,031,248 larger than 215³.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of 417 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of the cube with a side length of 417 cm is 72,588,513 cm³.

Explanation

To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).

Cubing 417 means multiplying 417 by itself three times: 417 × 417 = 173,889, and then 173,889 × 417 = 72,588,513.

The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.

Therefore, the volume of the cube is 72,588,513 cm³.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube of 416.9 using the cube of 417.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 416.9 is approximately 72,588,513.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of 417.

The cube of 417 is 417³ = 72,588,513.

Since 416.9 is only a tiny bit less than 417, the cube of 416.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 417.

The cube of 416.9 is approximately 72,588,513 because the difference between 416.9 and 417 is very small.

So, we can approximate the value as 72,588,513.
