Cube Root of 26244

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 26244 and explain the methods used.

What is the Cube Root of 26244?

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, ∛26244 is written as 26244(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 26244, then y3 can be 26244. Since the cube root of 26244 is an exact value, we can write it as 29.

Finding the Cube Root of 26244

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 26244. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:

 

  • Prime factorization method
  • Approximation method
  • Subtraction method
  • Halley’s method

 

To find the cube root of a perfect cube number like 26244, we can use the prime factorization method.

Cube Root of 26244 by Prime Factorization

Let's find the cube root of 26244 using the prime factorization method.

First, we need to express 26244 as a product of its prime factors:

26244 = 22 × 32 × 293.

Since the exponent of 29 is 3, we can take 29 out of the cube root.

∛26244 = 29.

The cube root of 26244 is 29.

Trying to find approximate cube roots for perfect cube numbers.

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Children sometimes try to calculate an approximate decimal value for the cube root of numbers like 26244, which are perfect cubes.

For example: They assume that they would need to approximate the cube root of 26244 like they do for non-perfect cubes. To avoid this error, memorize that some numbers like 26244 are perfect cubes, so their cube roots are exact whole numbers.

Problem 1

Imagine you have a cube-shaped toy that has a total volume of 26244 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the cube equal to its cube root.

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

Side of the cube = ∛26244 = 29 units

Explanation

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 29 units.

Problem 2

A company manufactures 26244 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 12444 cubic meters.

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

The amount of material left is 13800 cubic meters.

Explanation

To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount:

26244 - 12444 = 13800 cubic meters.

Problem 3

A bottle holds 26244 cubic meters of volume. Another bottle holds a volume of 8000 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?

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

The total volume of the combined bottles is 34244 cubic meters.

Explanation

Let’s add the volume of both bottles:

26244 + 8000 = 34244 cubic meters.

Problem 4

When the cube root of 26244 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?

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

2 × 29 = 58

The cube of 58 = 195112

Explanation

When we multiply the cube root of 26244 by 2, it results in a new value.

Cubing this new value increases the volume significantly because the cube increases exponentially.

Problem 5

Find ∛(46244 + 46244).

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

∛(46244 + 46244) = ∛92488 ≈ 45.2

Explanation

As shown in the question ∛(46244 + 46244), we can simplify that by adding them.

So, 46244 + 46244 = 92488.

Then we use this step: ∛92488 ≈ 45.2 to get the answer.
