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 470.
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 470 can be written as 470³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 470 × 470 × 470.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: the multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods help to cube 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. 470³ = 470 × 470 × 470
Step 2: You get 103,823,000 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 470 is 103,823,000.
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 470 into two parts. Let a = 400 and b = 70, so a + b = 470
Step 2: Now, apply the formula
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 400³
3a²b = 3 × 400² × 70
3ab² = 3 × 400 × 70²
b³ = 70³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(400 + 70)³ = 400³ + 3 × 400² × 70 + 3 × 400 × 70² + 70³
470³ = 64,000,000 + 33,600,000 + 5,880,000 + 343,000
470³ = 103,823,000
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 470 is 103,823,000.
To find the cube of 470 using a calculator, input the number 470 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 470 × 470 × 470. This operation calculates the value of 470³, resulting in 103,823,000. 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 7 and 0.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 470³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 470 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 103,823,000.
There are some typical errors that might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might happen:
What is the cube and cube root of 470?
The cube of 470 is 103,823,000 and the cube root of 470 is approximately 7.777.
First, let’s find the cube of 470.
We know that the cube of a number is calculated as x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 470³ = 103,823,000.
Next, we must find the cube root of 470. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is expressed as ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value.
So, we get ∛470 ≈ 7.777.
Hence, the cube of 470 is 103,823,000 and the cube root of 470 is approximately 7.777.
If the side length of the cube is 470 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 103,823,000 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 470 for the side length: V = 470³ = 103,823,000 cm³.
How much larger is 470³ than 400³?
470³ – 400³ = 39,823,000.
First, find the cube of 470³, which is 103,823,000.
Next, find the cube of 400³, which is 64,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
103,823,000 – 64,000,000 = 39,823,000.
Therefore, 470³ is 39,823,000 larger than 400³.
If a cube with a side length of 470 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 70 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 470 cm is 103,823,000 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 470 means multiplying 470 by itself three times: 470 × 470 = 220,900, and then 220,900 × 470 = 103,823,000.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 103,823,000 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 469.9 using the cube of 470.
The cube of 469.9 is approximately 103,823,000.
First, identify the cube of 470,
The cube of 470 is 470³ = 103,823,000.
Since 469.9 is only a tiny bit less than 470, the cube of 469.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 470.
The cube of 469.9 is approximately 103,823,000 because the difference between 469.9 and 470 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 103,823,000.
