When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used in comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 468.
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 468 can be written as 468³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 468 × 468 × 468.
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. 468³ = 468 × 468 × 468
Step 2: You get 102,036,432 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 468 is 102,036,432.
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 468 into two parts, as 460 and 8. Let a = 460 and b = 8, so a + b = 468
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 460³
3a²b = 3 × 460² × 8
3ab² = 3 × 460 × 8²
b³ = 8³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(460 + 8)³ = 460³ + 3 × 460² × 8 + 3 × 460 × 8² + 8³
468³ = 97,336,000 + 50,688 + 88,320 + 512
468³ = 102,036,432
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 468 is 102,036,432.
To find the cube of 468 using a calculator, input the number 468 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 468 × 468 × 468. This operation calculates the value of 468³, resulting in 102,036,432. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 4 followed by 6 and 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 468³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 468 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 102,036,432.
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 468?
The cube of 468 is 102,036,432 and the cube root of 468 is approximately 7.779.
First, let’s find the cube of 468.
We know that 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 468³ = 102,036,432
Next, we must find the cube root of 468 We know that 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 ∛468 ≈ 7.779
Hence the cube of 468 is 102,036,432 and the cube root of 468 is approximately 7.779.
If the side length of the cube is 468 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 102,036,432 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 468 for the side length: V = 468³ = 102,036,432 cm³.
How much larger is 468³ than 460³?
468³ – 460³ = 4,700,432.
First find the cube of 468³, that is 102,036,432
Next, find the cube of 460³, which is 97,336,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
102,036,432 – 97,336,000 = 4,700,432
Therefore, the 468³ is 4,700,432 larger than 460³.
If a cube with a side length of 468 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 8 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 468 cm is 102,036,432 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 468 means multiplying 468 by itself three times: 468 × 468 = 218,088, and then 218,088 × 468 = 102,036,432.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 102,036,432 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 469 using the cube of 468.
The cube of 469 is approximately 102,036,432.
First, identify the cube of 468, The cube of 468 is 468³ = 102,036,432. Since 469 is only a tiny bit more than 468, the cube of 469 will be almost the same as the cube of 468. The cube of 469 is approximately 102,036,432 because the difference between 468 and 469 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 102,036,432.
