A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various uses in real life, such as finding the volume of cube-shaped objects and designing structures. We will now find the cube root of 681472 and explain the methods used.
We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓.
In exponential form, ∛681472 is written as 681472(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 681472, then y³ can be 681472. Since the cube root of 681472 is an exact value, we can write it as exactly 88.
Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 681472. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
Since 681472 is a perfect cube, we can use the prime factorization method.
Let's find the cube root of 681472 using the prime factorization method.
First, we find the prime factors of 681472:
681472 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 × 11 × 11
Grouping the factors in triples, we have: (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (11 × 11 × 11)
Taking one factor from each group, we get: ∛681472 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 = 88
The cube root of 681472 is exactly 88.
Finding the perfect cube of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped toy that has a total volume of 681472 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the box equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛681472 = 88 units
To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume.
Therefore, the side length of the cube is exactly 88 units.
A company manufactures 681472 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 200000 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 481472 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount:
681472 - 200000 = 481472 cubic meters.
A bottle holds 681472 cubic meters of volume. Another bottle holds a volume of 10000 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?
The total volume of the combined bottles is 691472 cubic meters.
Let’s add the volume of both bottles:
681472 + 10000 = 691472 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 681472 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × 88 = 176 The cube of 176 = 5485766
When we multiply the cube root of 681472 by 2, it results in a significantly larger cube due to the exponential increase in volume.
Find ∛(400000+281472).
∛(400000 + 281472) = ∛681472 = 88
As shown in the question ∛(400000 + 281472), we can simplify that by adding them.
So, 400000 + 281472 = 681472.
Then we use this step: ∛681472 = 88 to get the answer.
