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 the cube of 1087.
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 1087 can be written as 1087³, which is the exponential form. Or, it can also be written in arithmetic form as 1087 × 1087 × 1087.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods:
These three methods will help calculate the cube faster and easier without confusion or getting 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. 1087³ = 1087 × 1087 × 1087
Step 2: You get 1,284,031,303 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 1087 is 1,284,031,303.
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 1087 into two parts, as 1000 and 87. Let a = 1000 and b = 87, so a + b = 1087
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1000³ 3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 87 3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 87² b³ = 87³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1000 + 87)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 87 + 3 × 1000 × 87² + 87³ 1087³ = 1,000,000,000 + 261,000,000 + 22,689,000 + 658,503 1087³ = 1,284,031,303
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1087 is 1,284,031,303.
To find the cube of 1087 using a calculator, input the number 1087 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1087 × 1087 × 1087. This operation calculates the value of 1087³, resulting in 1,284,031,303. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly
Step 2: Input 1087
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1087³
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1087 three times manually
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,284,031,303
There are some typical errors that might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five major mistakes that might happen:
What is the cube and cube root of 1087?
The cube of 1087 is 1,284,031,303, and the cube root of 1087 is approximately 10.214.
First, let’s find the cube of 1087. 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 1087³ = 1,284,031,303. Next, we find the cube root of 1087.
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 ∛1087 ≈ 10.214.
Hence the cube of 1087 is 1,284,031,303, and the cube root of 1087 is approximately 10.214.
If the side length of a cube is 1087 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,284,031,303 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube: V = Side³.
Substitute 1087 for the side length: V = 1087³ = 1,284,031,303 cm³.
How much larger is 1087³ than 1003?
1087³ – 1003 = 1,224,071,303.
First, find the cube of 1087, which is 1,284,031,303.
Next, find the cube of 100, which is 1,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,284,031,303 – 1,000,000 = 1,224,071,303.
Therefore, 1087³ is 1,224,071,303 larger than 100³.
If a cube with a side length of 1087 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1087 cm is 1,284,031,303 cm³.
To find its volume, multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1087 means multiplying 1087 by itself three times: 1087 × 1087 = 1,181,569, and 1,181,569 × 1087 = 1,284,031,303.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,284,031,303 cm³.
Estimate the cube 1086.9 using the cube 1087.
The cube of 1086.9 is approximately 1,284,031,303.
First, identify the cube of 1087: The cube of 1087 is 1087³ = 1,284,031,303.
Since 1086.9 is only a tiny bit less than 1087, the cube of 1086.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 1087.
The cube of 1086.9 is approximately 1,284,031,303 because the difference between 1086.9 and 1087 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,284,031,303.
