When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 841.
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 841 can be written as 841³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 841 × 841 × 841.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help students to cube 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 numbers 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. 841³ = 841 × 841 × 841
Step 2: You get 594,823,321 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 841 is 594,823,321.
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 841 into two parts, such as a and b. Let a = 800 and b = 41, so a + b = 841
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 800³
3a²b = 3 × 800² × 41
3ab² = 3 × 800 × 41²
b³ = 41³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(800 + 41)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 41 + 3 × 800 × 41² + 41³
841³ = 512,000,000 + 78,720,000 + 40,248,000 + 68,921
841³ = 594,823,321
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 841 is 594,823,321.
To find the cube of 841 using a calculator, input the number 841 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 841 × 841 × 841. This operation calculates the value of 841³, resulting in 594,823,321. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 8, 4, and 1
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 841³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 841 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 594,823,321.
There are some typical errors that students might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that students might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 841?
The cube of 841 is 594,823,321, and the cube root of 841 is approximately 9.428.
First, let’s find the cube of 841.
We know that the cube of a number is x³ = y, where x is the given number and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 841³ = 594,823,321.
Next, we must find the cube root of 841.
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 ∛841 ≈ 9.428.
Hence the cube of 841 is 594,823,321, and the cube root of 841 is approximately 9.428.
If the side length of a cube is 841 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 594,823,321 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 841 for the side length: V = 841³ = 594,823,321 cm³.
How much larger is 841³ than 800³?
841³ – 800³ = 82,823,321.
First, find the cube of 841, which is 594,823,321.
Next, find the cube of 800, which is 512,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 594,823,321 – 512,000,000 = 82,823,321.
Therefore, 841³ is 82,823,321 larger than 800³.
If a cube with a side length of 841 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 41 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 841 cm is 594,823,321 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 841 means multiplying 841 by itself three times: 841 × 841 = 707,281, and 707,281 × 841 = 594,823,321.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 594,823,321 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 840 using the cube of 841.
The cube of 840 is approximately 594,823,321.
First, identify the cube of 841, The cube of 841 is 841³ = 594,823,321.
Since 840 is only a tiny bit less than 841, the cube of 840 will be almost the same as the cube of 841.
The cube of 840 is approximately 594,823,321 because the difference between 840 and 841 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 594,823,321.
