Cube of 60

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 60 can be written as 60³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 60 × 60 × 60.

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.

• 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.

60³ = 60 × 60 × 60

Step 2: You get 216,000 as the answer.

Hence, the cube of 60 is 216,000.

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 60 into two parts. Let a = 50 and b = 10, so a + b = 60

Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 50³ , 3a²b = 3 × 50² × 10 , 3ab² = 3 × 50 × 10² , b³ = 10³

Step 4: Add all the terms together:

(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

(50 + 10)³ = 50³ + 3 × 50² × 10 + 3 × 50 × 10² + 10³

60³ = 125,000 + 75,000 + 15,000 + 1,000 60³

= 216,000

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 60 is 216,000.

To find the cube of 60 using a calculator, input the number 60 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 60 × 60 × 60. This operation calculates the value of 60³, resulting in 216,000. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.

Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.

Step 2: Press 6 followed by 0

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 60³.

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 60 three times manually.

Step 5: The calculator will display 216,000.

• The cube of any even number is always even, while the cube of any odd number is always odd.
   
• The product of two or more perfect cube numbers is always a perfect cube.
   
• A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of three identical groups of equal prime factors.

• Binomial Formula: It is an algebraic expression used to expand the powers of a number, written as (a + b)ⁿ, where ‘n’ is a positive integer raised to the base. The formula is used to find the square and cube of a number.
  
   
• Cube of a Number: Multiplying a number by itself three times is called the cube of a number.
  
   
• Exponential Form: It is a way of expressing numbers using a base and an exponent (or power), where the exponent value indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ represents 2 × 2 × 2 equals 8.
  
   
• Volume of a Cube: The volume of a cube is calculated as the cube of its side length, expressed as Side³.
  
   
• Perfect Cube: A number that can be expressed as the cube of an integer is called a perfect cube.
