When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 659.
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 659 can be written as 659³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 659 × 659 × 659.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as the 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.
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. 659³ = 659 × 659 × 659
Step 2: You get 286,574,179 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 659 is 286,574,179.
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 659 into two parts, as 600 and 59. Let a = 600 and b = 59, so a + b = 659
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 600³ 3a²b = 3 × 600² × 59 3ab² = 3 × 600 × 59² b³ = 59³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(600 + 59)³ = 600³ + 3 × 600² × 59 + 3 × 600 × 59² + 59³
659³ = 216,000,000 + 63,720,000 + 6,264,600 + 205,579
659³ = 286,574,179
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 659 is 286,574,179.
To find the cube of 659 using a calculator, input the number 659 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 659 × 659 × 659. This operation calculates the value of 659³, resulting in 286,574,179. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Enter 659.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 659³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 659 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 286,574,179.
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 659?
The cube of 659 is 286,574,179 and the cube root of 659 is approximately 8.731.
First, let’s find the cube of 659.
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 659³ = 286,574,179
Next, we must find the cube root of 659. 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 ∛659 ≈ 8.731
If the side length of the cube is 659 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 286,574,179 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 659 for the side length: V = 659³ = 286,574,179 cm³.
How much larger is 659³ than 559³?
659³ – 559³ = 208,874,379.
First, find the cube of 659, that is 286,574,179.
Next, find the cube of 559, which is 77,699,800.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 286,574,179 – 77,699,800 = 208,874,379
Therefore, 659³ is 208,874,379 larger than 559³.
If a cube with a side length of 659 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 59 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 659 cm is 286,574,179 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 659 means multiplying 659 by itself three times: 659 × 659 = 434,281, and then 434,281 × 659 = 286,574,179.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 286,574,179 cm³.
Estimate the cube 658.9 using the cube 659.
The cube of 658.9 is approximately 286,574,179.
First, identify the cube of 659.
The cube of 659 is 659³ = 286,574,179.
Since 658.9 is only a tiny bit less than 659, the cube of 658.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 659.
The cube of 658.9 is approximately 286,574,179 because the difference between 658.9 and 659 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 286,574,179.
