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 277.
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 277 can be written as (277^3), which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, (277 times 277 times 277).
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: the multiplication method, a factor formula ((a^3)), 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. (2773 = 277 times 277 times 277)
Step 2: You get 21,269,933 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 277 is 21,269,933.
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 277 into two parts, as desired. Let (a = 270) and (b = 7), so (a + b = 277)
Step 2: Now, apply the formula ((a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3)
Step 3: Calculate each term (a3 = 2703) (3a2b = 3 × 2702 × 7) (3ab2 = 3 × 270 × 72) (b3 = 73)
Step 4: Add all the terms together: ((a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3) ((270 + 7)3 = 2703 + 3 × 2702 × 7 + 3 × 270 × 72 + 73) (2773 = 19,683,000 + 1,377,300 + 39,690 + 343) (2773 = 21,269,933)
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 277 is 21,269,933.
To find the cube of 277 using a calculator, input the number 277 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply (277 × 277× 277). This operation calculates the value of (2773), resulting in 21,269,933. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 2 followed by 7 and 7
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate (2773).
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 277 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 21,269,933.
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 277?
The cube of 277 is 21,269,933 and the cube root of 277 is approximately 6.500.
First, let’s find the cube of 277.
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 (2773 = 21,269,933).
Next, we must find the cube root of 277.
We know that the cube root of a number (x), such that (sqrt[3]{x} = y)
Where (x) is the given number, and (y) is the cube root value of the number. So, we get (sqrt[3]{277} approx 6.500).
Hence the cube of 277 is 21,269,933 and the cube root of 277 is approximately 6.500.
If the side length of the cube is 277 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 21,269,933 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube (V = text{Side}3).
Substitute 277 for the side length: (V = 2773 = 21,269,933) cm³.
How much larger is \(277^3\) than \(167^3\)?
\(277^3 - 167^3 = 17,028,574\).
First find the cube of (2773), which is 21,269,933.
Next, find the cube of (1673), which is 4,241,359.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 21,269,933 - 4,241,359 = 17,028,574.
Therefore, (2773) is 17,028,574 larger than (1673)
If a cube with a side length of 277 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 277 cm is 21,269,933 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 277 means multiplying 277 by itself three times: (277 × 277 = 76,729), and then (76,729 × 277 = 21,269,933).
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 21,269,933 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 276.9 using the cube of 277.
The cube of 276.9 is approximately 21,269,933.
First, identify the cube of 277,
The cube of 277 is (2773 = 21,269,933).
Since 276.9 is only a tiny bit less than 277, the cube of 276.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 277.
The cube of 276.9 is approximately 21,269,933 because the difference between 276.9 and 277 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 21,269,933.
