When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing the sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 885.
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 885 can be written as 885³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 885 × 885 × 885.
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 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 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. 885³ = 885 × 885 × 885 Step 2: You get 693,533,625 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 885 is 693,533,625.
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 885 into two parts, as 800 and 85. Let a = 800 and b = 85, so a + b = 885 Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 800³ 3a²b = 3 × 800² × 85 3ab² = 3 × 800 × 85² b³ = 85³ Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (800 + 85)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 85 + 3 × 800 × 85² + 85³ 885³ = 512,000,000 + 163,200,000 + 173,400 + 614,125 885³ = 693,533,625 Step 5: Hence, the cube of 885 is 693,533,625.
To find the cube of 885 using a calculator, input the number 885 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 885 × 885 × 885. This operation calculates the value of 885³, resulting in 693,533,625. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation. Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly. Step 2: Press 8 followed by 8 and then 5 Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 885³. Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 885 three times manually. Step 5: The calculator will display 693,533,625.
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.
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 885?
The cube of 885 is 693,533,625 and the cube root of 885 is approximately 9.556.
First, let’s find the cube of 885. 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 885³ = 693,533,625 Next, we must find the cube root of 885. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number. So, we get ∛885 ≈ 9.556 Hence the cube of 885 is 693,533,625 and the cube root of 885 is approximately 9.556.
If the side length of the cube is 885 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 693,533,625 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 885 for the side length: V = 885³ = 693,533,625 cm³.
How much larger is 885³ than 800³?
885³ – 800³ = 181,533,625.
First, find the cube of 885, which is 693,533,625. Next, find the cube of 800, which is 512,000,000. Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 693,533,625 – 512,000,000 = 181,533,625 Therefore, the 885³ is 181,533,625 larger than 800³.
If a cube with a side length of 885 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 85 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 885 cm is 693,533,625 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 885 means multiplying 885 by itself three times: 885 × 885 = 783,225, and then 783,225 × 885 = 693,533,625. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 693,533,625 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 884 using the cube of 885.
The cube of 884 is approximately 693,533,625.
First, identify the cube of 885, The cube of 885 is 885³ = 693,533,625. Since 884 is only a tiny bit less than 885, the cube of 884 will be almost the same as the cube of 885. The cube of 884 is approximately 693,533,625 because the difference between 884 and 885 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 693,533,625.
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: The amount of space occupied by a 3-dimensional object, typically measured in cubic units. Perfect Cube: A number that can be expressed as the product of an integer multiplied by itself twice more, such as 1, 8, 27, etc.
