When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing the sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 156.
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 156 can be written as 156³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 156 × 156 × 156.
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 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. 156³ = 156 × 156 × 156
Step 2: You get 3,796,416 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 156 is 3,796,416.
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 156 into two parts, as and . Let a = 150 and b = 6, so a + b = 156
Step 2: Now, apply the formula
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 150³
3a²b = 3 × 150² × 6
3ab² = 3 × 150 × 6²
b³ = 6³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(150 + 6)³ = 150³ + 3 × 150² × 6 + 3 × 150 × 6² + 6³
156³ = 3,375,000 + 405,000 + 81,000 + 216
156³ = 3,796,416
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 156 is 3,796,416.
To find the cube of 156 using a calculator, input the number 156 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 156 × 156 × 156. This operation calculates the value of 156³, resulting in 3,796,416. 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 5 and 6
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 156³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 156 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 3,796,416.
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 156?
The cube of 156 is 3,796,416 and the cube root of 156 is approximately 5.349.
First, let’s find the cube of 156.
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 156³ = 3,796,416
Next, we must find the cube root of 156 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 ∛156 ≈ 5.349
Hence, the cube of 156 is 3,796,416 and the cube root of 156 is approximately 5.349.
If the side length of the cube is 156 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 3,796,416 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 156 for the side length: V = 156³ = 3,796,416 cm³.
How much larger is 156³ than 150³?
156³ – 150³ = 421,416.
First find the cube of 156³, that is 3,796,416 Next, find the cube of 150³, which is 3,375,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
3,796,416 – 3,375,000 = 421,416
Therefore, 156³ is 421,416 larger than 150³.
If a cube with a side length of 156 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 50 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 156 cm is 3,796,416 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 156 means multiplying 156 by itself three times: 156 × 156 = 24,336, and then 24,336 × 156 = 3,796,416.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 3,796,416 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 155.9 using the cube of 156.
The cube of 155.9 is approximately 3,796,416.
First, identify the cube of 156, The cube of 156 is 156³ = 3,796,416.
Since 155.9 is only a tiny bit less than 156, the cube of 155.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 156.
The cube of 155.9 is approximately 3,796,416 because the difference between 155.9 and 156 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 3,796,416.
