Cube of 472

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 472 can be written as 472³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 472 × 472 × 472.

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 students to cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.

1. By Multiplication Method
2. Using a Formula
3. 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. 472³ = 472 × 472 × 472

Step 2: You get 105,884,928 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 472 is 105,884,928.

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 472 into two parts. Let a = 470 and b = 2, so a + b = 472

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

Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 470³ 3a²b = 3 × 470² × 2 3ab² = 3 × 470 × 2² b³ = 2³

Step 4: Add all the terms together:

(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

(470 + 2)³ = 470³ + 3 × 470² × 2 + 3 × 470 × 2² + 2³

472³ = 103823000 + 1323000 + 5640 + 8

472³ = 105,884,928

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 472 is 105,884,928.

To find the cube of 472 using a calculator, input the number 472 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 472 × 472 × 472. This operation calculates the value of 472³, resulting in 105,884,928. 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 2

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 472³.

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 472 three times manually.

Step 5: The calculator will display 105,884,928.

• 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.

• Binomial Formula: It is an algebraic expression used to expand the powers of a number, written as (a + b)ⁿ, where ‘n’ is a positive integer raised to the base. The formula is used to find the square and cube of a number.

• Cube of a Number: Multiplying a number by itself three times is called the cube of a number.

• Exponential Form: It is a way of expressing numbers using a base and an exponent (or power), where the exponent value indicates how many times the base is multiplied by itself. For example, 2³ represents 2 × 2 × 2 equals 8.

• Perfect Cube: A number that can be expressed as the product of three equal integers, such as 27, which is 3 × 3 × 3.

• Volume of a Cube: The amount of space enclosed within a cube, calculated as the side length raised to the third power, or side × side × side.
