When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of that number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 164.
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 164 can be written as 164³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 164 × 164 × 164.
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 (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. 164³ = 164 × 164 × 164
Step 2: You get 4,398,304 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 164 is 4,398,304.
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 164 into two parts, such as a = 160 and b = 4, so a + b = 164.
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³.
Step 3: Calculate each term: a³ = 160³
3a²b = 3 × 160² × 4
3ab² = 3 × 160 × 4²
b³ = 4³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(160 + 4)³ = 160³ + 3 × 160² × 4 + 3 × 160 × 4² + 4³
164³ = 4,096,000 + 307,200 + 7,680 + 64
164³ = 4,398,304
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 164 is 4,398,304.
To find the cube of 164 using a calculator, input the number 164 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 164 × 164 × 164. This operation calculates the value of 164³, resulting in 4,398,304. 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 4.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 164³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 164 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 4,398,304.
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 164?
The cube of 164 is 4,398,304 and the cube root of 164 is approximately 5.493.
First, let’s find the cube of 164.
We know that the cube of a number is such that x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 164³ = 4,398,304.
Next, we must find the cube root of 164.
We know that the cube root of a number 'x' is such that ∛x = y, where 'x' is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ∛164 ≈ 5.493.
Hence, the cube of 164 is 4,398,304 and the cube root of 164 is approximately 5.493.
If the side length of the cube is 164 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 4,398,304 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 164 for the side length: V = 164³ = 4,398,304 cm³.
How much larger is 164³ than 80³?
164³ – 80³ = 4,185,504.
First find the cube of 164³, which is 4,398,304. Next, find the cube of 80³, which is 512,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method:
4,398,304 – 512,000 = 4,185,504.
Therefore, 164³ is 4,185,504 larger than 80³.
If a cube with a side length of 164 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 20 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 164 cm is 4,398,304 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 164 means multiplying 164 by itself three times:
164 × 164 = 26,896, and then 26,896 × 164 = 4,398,304.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 4,398,304 cm³.
Estimate the cube 163.9 using the cube 164.
The cube of 163.9 is approximately 4,398,304.
First, identify the cube of 164.
The cube of 164 is 164³ = 4,398,304.
Since 163.9 is only a tiny bit less than 164, the cube of 163.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 164.
The cube of 163.9 is approximately 4,398,304 because the difference between 163.9 and 164 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 4,398,304.
