When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 602.
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 602 can be written as 6023, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 602 × 602 × 602.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as the multiplication method, a factor formula (a3), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help you 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. 6023 = 602 × 602 × 602
Step 2: You get 218,792,408 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 602 is 218,792,408.
The formula (a + b)^3 is a binomial formula for finding the cube of a number. The formula is expanded as a^3 + 3a^2b + 3ab^2 + b^3.
Step 1: Split the number 602 into two parts. Let a = 600 and b = 2, so a + b = 602
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
Step 3: Calculate each term a3 = 6003
3a2b = 3 × 6002 × 2
3ab2 = 3 × 600 × 22
b3 = 23
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
(600 + 2)3 = 6003 + 3 × 6002 × 2 + 3 × 600 × 22 + 23
6023 = 216,000,000 + 2,160,000 + 7,200 + 8
6023 = 218,792,408
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 602 is 218,792,408.
To find the cube of 602 using a calculator, input the number 602 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 602 × 602 × 602. This operation calculates the value of 6023, resulting in 218,792,408. 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 and 2
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 6023.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 602 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 218,792,408.
There are some typical errors that might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might happen:
What is the cube and cube root of 602?
The cube of 602 is 218,792,408 and the cube root of 602 is approximately 8.42.
First, let’s find the cube of 602. 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 6023 = 218,792,408.
Next, we must find the cube root of 602. 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 ∛602 ≈ 8.42.
Hence, the cube of 602 is 218,792,408 and the cube root of 602 is approximately 8.42.
If the side length of the cube is 602 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 218,792,408 cm3.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side3.
Substitute 602 for the side length: V = 6023 = 218,792,408 cm3.
How much larger is 602³ than 502³?
6023 – 5023 = 153,792,408.
First, find the cube of 602, which is 218,792,408.
Next, find the cube of 502, which is 125,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
218,792,408 – 125,000,000 = 93,792,408.
Therefore, 6023 is 93,792,408 larger than 5023.
If a cube with a side length of 602 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 300 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 602 cm is 218,792,408 cm3.
To find its volume, multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 602 means multiplying 602 by itself three times: 602 × 602 = 362,404, and then 362,404 × 602 = 218,792,408.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm3), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 218,792,408 cm3.
Estimate the cube of 601.9 using the cube of 602.
The cube of 601.9 is approximately 218,792,408.
First, identify the cube of 602, The cube of 602 is 6023 = 218,792,408. Since 601.9 is only a tiny bit less than 602, the cube of 601.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 602.
The cube of 601.9 is approximately 218,792,408 because the difference between 601.9 and 602 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 218,792,408.
