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 318.
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 318 can be written as 318³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 318 × 318 × 318.
In order 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.
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. 318³ = 318 × 318 × 318
Step 2: You get 32,143,032 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 318 is 32,143,032.
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 318 into two parts, as 300 and 18. Let a = 300 and b = 18, so a + b = 318
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 300³
3a²b = 3 × 300² × 18
3ab² = 3 × 300 × 18²
b³ = 18³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(300 + 18)³ = 300³ + 3 × 300² × 18 + 3 × 300 × 18² + 18³
318³ = 27,000,000 + 4,860,000 + 291,600 + 5,832
318³ = 32,143,032
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 318 is 32,143,032.
To find the cube of 318 using a calculator, input the number 318 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 318 × 318 × 318. This operation calculates the value of 318³, resulting in 32,143,032. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 3 followed by 1 and 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 318³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 318 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 32,143,032.
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 318?
The cube of 318 is 32,143,032 and the cube root of 318 is approximately 6.877.
First, let’s find the cube of 318.
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 318³ = 32,143,032
Next, we must find the cube root of 318 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√318 ≈ 6.877
Hence the cube of 318 is 32,143,032 and the cube root of 318 is approximately 6.877.
If the side length of the cube is 318 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 32,143,032 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 318 for the side length: V = 318³ = 32,143,032 cm³.
How much larger is 318³ than 200³?
318³ – 200³ = 24,143,032.
First, find the cube of 318³, which is 32,143,032
Next, find the cube of 200³, which is 8,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
32,143,032 – 8,000,000 = 24,143,032
Therefore, 318³ is 24,143,032 larger than 200³.
If a cube with a side length of 318 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 318 cm is 32,143,032 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 318 means multiplying 318 by itself three times: 318 × 318 = 101,124, and then 101,124 × 318 = 32,143,032.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 32,143,032 cm³.
Estimate the cube 317 using the cube 318.
The cube of 317 is approximately 32,143,032.
First, identify the cube of 318, The cube of 318 is 318³ = 32,143,032.
Since 317 is only a tiny bit less than 318, the cube of 317 will be almost the same as the cube of 318.
The cube of 317 is approximately 32,143,032 because the difference between 317 and 318 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 32,143,032.
