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 cubes of 1118.
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 1118 can be written as 1118³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1118 × 1118 × 1118.
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as the 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 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. 1118³ = 1118 × 1118 × 1118
Step 2: You get 1,398,211,832 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1118 is 1,398,211,832.
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 1118 into two parts, as 1000 and 118. Let a = 1000 and b = 118, so a + b = 1118
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1000³ 3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 118 3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 118² b³ = 118³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1000 + 118)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 118 + 3 × 1000 × 118² + 118³ 1118³ = 1,000,000,000 + 354,000,000 + 41,724,000 + 1,643,832 1118³ = 1,398,211,832
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1118 is 1,398,211,832.
To find the cube of 1118 using a calculator, input the number 1118 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1118 × 1118 × 1118. This operation calculates the value of 1118³, resulting in 1,398,211,832. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1, 1, 1, and 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1118³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1118 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,398,211,832.
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.
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 1118?
The cube of 1118 is 1,398,211,832, and the cube root of 1118 is approximately 10.481.
First, let’s find the cube of 1118. 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 1118³ = 1,398,211,832
Next, we must find the cube root of 1118 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√1118 = 10.481
Hence the cube of 1118 is 1,398,211,832, and the cube root of 1118 is approximately 10.481.
If the side length of the cube is 1118 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,398,211,832 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 1118 for the side length: V = 1118³ = 1,398,211,832 cm³.
How much larger is 1118³ than 1000³?
1118³ – 1000³ = 398,211,832.
First, find the cube of 1118³, that is 1,398,211,832
Next, find the cube of 1000³, which is 1,000,000,000 Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,398,211,832 – 1,000,000,000 = 398,211,832
Therefore, 1118³ is 398,211,832 larger than 1000³.
If a cube with a side length of 1118 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 500 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1118 cm is 1,398,211,832 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 1118 means multiplying 1118 by itself three times: 1118 × 1118 = 1,250,044, and then 1,250,044 × 1118 = 1,398,211,832.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,398,211,832 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1117.9 using the cube of 1118.
The cube of 1117.9 is approximately 1,398,211,832.
First, identify the cube of 1118. The cube of 1118 is 1118³ = 1,398,211,832. Since 1117.9 is only a tiny bit less than 1118, the cube of 1117.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 1118.
The cube of 1117.9 is approximately 1,398,211,832 because the difference between 1117.9 and 1118 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 1,398,211,832.
