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 1004.
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 1004 can be written as 1004³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1004 × 1004 × 1004.
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.
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. 1004³ = 1004 × 1004 × 1004
Step 2: You get 1,012,080,064 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1004 is 1,012,080,064.
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 1004 into two parts, as 1000 and 4. Let a = 1000 and b = 4, so a + b = 1004
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 1000³
3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 4
3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 4²
b³ = 4³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(1000 + 4)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 4 + 3 × 1000 × 4² + 4³
1004³ = 1,000,000,000 + 12,000,000 + 48,000 + 64
1004³ = 1,012,080,064
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1004 is 1,012,080,064.
To find the cube of 1004 using a calculator, input the number 1004 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1004 × 1004 × 1004. This operation calculates the value of 1004³, resulting in 1,012,080,064. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Input 1004
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1004³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1004 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,012,080,064.
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 1004?
The cube of 1004 is 1,012,080,064 and the cube root of 1004 is approximately 10.010.
First, let’s find the cube of 1004.
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 1004³ = 1,012,080,064
Next, we must find the cube root of 1004
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 ∛1004 ≈ 10.010
Hence the cube of 1004 is 1,012,080,064, and the cube root of 1004 is approximately 10.010.
If the side length of the cube is 1004 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,012,080,064 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1004 for the side length: V = 1004³ = 1,012,080,064 cm³.
How much larger is 1004³ than 1003³?
1004³ – 1003³ = 3,012,036.
First, find the cube of 1004, that is 1,012,080,064
Next, find the cube of 1003, which is 1,009,068,028
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,012,080,064 – 1,009,068,028 = 3,012,036
Therefore, 1004³ is 3,012,036 larger than 1003³.
If a cube with a side length of 1004 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 1000 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1004 cm is 1,012,080,064 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1004 means multiplying 1004 by itself three times: 1004 × 1004 = 1,008,016, and then 1,008,016 × 1004 = 1,012,080,064.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,012,080,064 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1005 using the cube of 1004.
The cube of 1005 is approximately 1,015,075,125.
First, identify the cube of 1004, The cube of 1004 is 1004³ = 1,012,080,064.
Since 1005 is only slightly larger than 1004, the cube of 1005 will be a bit more than the cube of 1004.
The cube of 1005 is approximately 1,015,075,125 when calculated precisely.
