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 1273.
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 1273 can be written as 1273³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1273 × 1273 × 1273.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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. 1273³ = 1273 × 1273 × 1273
Step 2: You get 2,061,885,617 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1273 is 2,061,885,617.
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 1273 into two parts, such as 1200 and 73. Let a = 1200 and b = 73, so a + b = 1273
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1200³ 3a²b = 3 × 1200² × 73 3ab² = 3 × 1200 × 73² b³ = 73³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1200 + 73)³ = 1200³ + 3 × 1200² × 73 + 3 × 1200 × 73² + 73³ 1273³ = 1,728,000,000 + 316,800,000 + 191,844,000 + 389,017 1273³ = 2,061,885,617
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1273 is 2,061,885,617.
To find the cube of 1273 using a calculator, input the number 1273 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1273 × 1273 × 1273.
This operation calculates the value of 1273³, resulting in 2,061,885,617.
It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Enter 1273
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1273³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1273 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 2,061,885,617.
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 1273?
The cube of 1273 is 2,061,885,617, and the cube root of 1273 is approximately 10.799.
First, let’s find the cube of 1273. 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 1273³ = 2,061,885,617
Next, we must find the cube root of 1273 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√1273 ≈ 10.799
Hence, the cube of 1273 is 2,061,885,617, and the cube root of 1273 is approximately 10.799.
If the side length of the cube is 1273 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 2,061,885,617 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 1273 for the side length: V = 1273³ = 2,061,885,617 cm³.
How much larger is 1273³ than 1200³?
1273³ – 1200³ = 333,885,617.
First, find the cube of 1273³, that is 2,061,885,617
Next, find the cube of 1200³, which is 1,728,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 2,061,885,617 – 1,728,000,000 = 333,885,617
Therefore, 1273³ is 333,885,617 larger than 1200³.
If a cube with a side length of 1273 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 1000 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1273 cm is 2,061,885,617 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1273 means multiplying 1273 by itself three times: 1273 × 1273 × 1273 = 2,061,885,617.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 2,061,885,617 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1272 using the cube of 1273.
The cube of 1272 is approximately 2,061,885,617.
First, identify the cube of 1273, The cube of 1273 is 1273³ = 2,061,885,617.
Since 1272 is only a tiny bit less than 1273, the cube of 1272 will be almost the same as the cube of 1273.
The cube of 1272 is approximately 2,061,885,617 because the difference between 1272 and 1273 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 2,061,885,617.
