When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, 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 cubes of 163.
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 163 can be written as 163³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 163 × 163 × 163.
To determine 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 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. 163³ = 163 × 163 × 163
Step 2: You get 4,329,887 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 163 is 4,329,887.
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 163 into two parts, as 160 and 3. Let a = 160 and b = 3, so a + b = 163
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 160³
3a²b = 3 × 160² × 3
3ab² = 3 × 160 × 3²
b³ = 3³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (160 + 3)³ = 160³ + 3 × 160² × 3 + 3 × 160 × 3² + 3³ 163³ = 4,096,000 + 230,400 + 4,320 + 27 163³ = 4,329,887
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 163 is 4,329,887.
To find the cube of 163 using a calculator, input the number 163 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 163 × 163 × 163. This operation calculates the value of 163³, resulting in 4,329,887. 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 6 and 3
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 163³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 163 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 4,329,887.
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 163?
The cube of 163 is 4,329,887 and the cube root of 163 is approximately 5.480.
First, let’s find the cube of 163. 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 163³ = 4,329,887
Next, we must find the cube root of 163 We know that 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 ∛163 ≈ 5.480
Hence the cube of 163 is 4,329,887 and the cube root of 163 is approximately 5.480.
If the side length of the cube is 163 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 4,329,887 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 163 for the side length: V = 163³ = 4,329,887 cm³.
How much larger is 163³ than 150³?
163³ – 150³ = 1,339,337.
First find the cube of 163³, that is 4,329,887
Next, find the cube of 150³, which is 3,375,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
4,329,887 – 3,375,000 = 1,339,337
Therefore, the 163³ is 1,339,337 larger than 150³.
If a cube with a side length of 163 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 10 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 163 cm is 4,329,887 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 163 means multiplying 163 by itself three times: 163 × 163 = 26,569, and then 26,569 × 163 = 4,329,887.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 4,329,887 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 162.9 using the cube of 163.
The cube of 162.9 is approximately 4,329,887.
First, identify the cube of 163, The cube of 163 is 163³ = 4,329,887.
Since 162.9 is only a tiny bit less than 163, the cube of 162.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 163.
The cube of 162.9 is approximately 4,329,887 because the difference between 162.9 and 163 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 4,329,887.
