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 cubes of 1277.
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 by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 1277 can be written as 1277³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1277 × 1277 × 1277.
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. 1277³ = 1277 × 1277 × 1277
Step 2: You get 2,084,019,833 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1277 is 2,084,019,833.
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 1277 into two parts, as 1200 and 77. Let a = 1200 and b = 77, so a + b = 1277
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1200³ 3a²b = 3 × 1200² × 77 3ab² = 3 × 1200 × 77² b³ = 77³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1200 + 77)³ = 1200³ + 3 × 1200² × 77 + 3 × 1200 × 77² + 77³
Step 5: Calculate the sum to find 1277³ = 2,084,019,833 Hence, the cube of 1277 is 2,084,019,833.
To find the cube of 1277 using a calculator, input the number 1277 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1277 × 1277 × 1277.
This operation calculates the value of 1277³, resulting in 2,084,019,833. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 followed by 2, 7, 7
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1277³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1277 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 2,084,019,833.
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 1277?
The cube of 1277 is 2,084,019,833 and the cube root of 1277 is approximately 10.795.
First, let’s find the cube of 1277.
We know that the cube of a number is given by x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 1277³ = 2,084,019,833.
Next, we must find the cube root of 1277. We know that 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 ∛1277 ≈ 10.795 Hence the cube of 1277 is 2,084,019,833 and the cube root of 1277 is approximately 10.795.
If the side length of the cube is 1277 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 2,084,019,833 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 1277 for the side length: V = 1277³ = 2,084,019,833 cm³.
How much larger is 1277³ than 1200³?
1277³ – 1200³ = 884,019,833.
First, find the cube of 1277³, that is 2,084,019,833.
Next, find the cube of 1200³, which is 1,200,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 2,084,019,833 – 1,200,000,000 = 884,019,833.
Therefore, 1277³ is 884,019,833 larger than 1200³.
If a cube with a side length of 1277 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 200 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1277 cm is 2,084,019,833 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1277 means multiplying 1277 by itself three times: 1277 × 1277 = 1,630,729, and then 1,630,729 × 1277 = 2,084,019,833.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 2,084,019,833 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1276 using the cube of 1277.
The cube of 1276 is approximately 2,084,019,833.
First, identify the cube of 1277, The cube of 1277 is 1277³ = 2,084,019,833.
Since 1276 is only slightly less than 1277, the cube of 1276 will be almost the same as the cube of 1277.
The cube of 1276 is approximately 2,084,019,833 because the difference between 1276 and 1277 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 2,084,019,833.
