When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used in while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 50.
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 50 can be written as 503, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 50 x 50 x 50.
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.
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.
503 = 50 x 50 x 50
Step 2: You get 125,000 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 50 is 125,000.
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 50 into two parts, as a and b.
Let a = 40 and b = 10, so a + b = 50
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
Step 3: Calculate each term
a3= 403
3a2b = 3 x 402 x 10
3ab2 = 3 x 40 x 102
b3 = 103
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
(40 + 10)3= 403 + 3 x 402 x 10 + 3x 40 x 102 + 103
503 = 64000 + 48000 + 12000 + 1000
503 = 125000
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 50 is 125,000.
To find the cube of 50 using a calculator, input the number 50 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 50x 50x 50. This operation calculates the value of 503, resulting in 125,000. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 5 followed by 0
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 503.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 50 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 125,000.
