Cube of 239

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 239.

Cube of 239

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 239 can be written as 239³, which is the exponential form.

 

Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 239 × 239 × 239.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 239

In order to calculate 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

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. 239³ = 239 × 239 × 239

 

Step 2: You get 13,668,719 as the answer.

 

Hence, the cube of 239 is 13,668,719.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Formula (a³)

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 239 into two parts. Let a = 230 and b = 9, so a + b = 239

 

Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

 

Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 230³ 3a²b = 3 × 230² × 9 3ab² = 3 × 230 × 9² b³ = 9³

 

Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (230 + 9)³ = 230³ + 3 × 230² × 9 + 3 × 230 × 9² + 9³ 239³ = 12,167,000 + 1,494,300 + 55,890 + 729 239³ = 13,668,719

 

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 239 is 13,668,719.

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of 239 using a calculator, input the number 239 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 239 × 239 × 239. This operation calculates the value of 239³, resulting in 13,668,719. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.

 

Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.

 

Step 2: Press 2 followed by 3 and 9.

 

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 239³.

 

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 239 three times manually.

 

Step 5: The calculator will display 13,668,719.

Tips and Tricks for the Cube of 239

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.

Problem 1

What is the cube and cube root of 239?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 239 is 13,668,719 and the cube root of 239 is approximately 6.209.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of 239.

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 239³ = 13,668,719. Next, we must find the cube root of 239.

We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ³√x = y,

where x is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.

So, we get ³√239 ≈ 6.209.

Hence the cube of 239 is 13,668,719 and the cube root of 239 is approximately 6.209.

Problem 2

If the side length of the cube is 239 cm, what is the volume?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume is 13,668,719 cm³.

Explanation

Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.

Substitute 239 for the side length: V = 239³ = 13,668,719 cm³.

Problem 3

How much larger is 239³ than 230³?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

239³ – 230³ = 1,501,719.

Explanation

First find the cube of 239³, that is 13,668,719.

Next, find the cube of 230³, which is 12,167,000.

Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 13,668,719 – 12,167,000 = 1,501,719.

Therefore, 239³ is 1,501,719 larger than 230³.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of 239 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 9 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of the cube with a side length of 239 cm is 13,668,719 cm³.

Explanation

To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).

Cubing 239 means multiplying 239 by itself three times: 239 × 239 = 57,121, and then 57,121 × 239 = 13,668,719.

The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.

Therefore, the volume of the cube is 13,668,719 cm³.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube 238.5 using the cube 239.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 238.5 is approximately 13,668,719.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of 239. The cube of 239 is 239³ = 13,668,719.

Since 238.5 is only slightly less than 239, the cube of 238.5 will be almost the same as the cube of 239.

The cube of 238.5 is approximately 13,668,719 because the difference between 238.5 and 239 is very small.

So, we can approximate the value as 13,668,719.
