Cube of 197

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

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 197.

Cube of 197

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 197 can be written as 197³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 197 × 197 × 197.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 197

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

By Multiplication Method

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.

197³ = 197 × 197 × 197

 

Step 2: Calculate the product to get the answer. Hence, the cube of 197 is 7,655,813.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Formula (a³)

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 197 into two parts.

Let a = 190 and b = 7, so a + b = 197

 

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

 

Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 190³ , 3a²b = 3 × 190² × 7 , 3ab² = 3 × 190 × 7² , b³ = 7³

 

Step 4: Add all the terms together:

(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

(190 + 7)³ = 190³ + 3 × 190² × 7 + 3 × 190 × 7² + 7³ 197³

= 6,859,000 + 794,430 + 27,930 + 343 197³

= 7,655,813

 

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 197 is 7,655,813.

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of 197 using a calculator, input the number 197 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 197 × 197 × 197. This operation calculates the value of 197³, resulting in 7,655,813. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.

 

Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.

 

Step 2: Press 1 followed by 9, then 7.

 

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 197³.

 

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 197 three times manually.

 

Step 5: The calculator will display 7,655,813.

Tips and Tricks for the Cube of 197

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.

Problem 1

What is the cube and cube root of 197?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 197 is 7,655,813 and the cube root of 197 is approximately 5.82.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of 197.

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 197³ = 7,655,813

Next, we must find the cube root of 197.

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 ∛197 ≈ 5.82

Hence the cube of 197 is 7,655,813 and the cube root of 197 is approximately 5.82.

Problem 2

If the side length of the cube is 197 cm, what is the volume?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume is 7,655,813 cm³.

Explanation

Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.

Substitute 197 for the side length: V = 197³ = 7,655,813 cm³.

Problem 3

How much larger is 197³ than 190³?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

197³ - 190³ = 796,813.

Explanation

First find the cube of 197³, that is 7,655,813.

Next, find the cube of 190³, which is 6,859,000.

Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.

7,655,813 - 6,859,000 = 796,813

Therefore, 197³ is 796,813 larger than 190³.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of 197 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 7 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of the cube with a side length of 197 cm is 7,655,813 cm³.

Explanation

To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).

Cubing 197 means multiplying 197 by itself three times: 197 × 197 = 38,809, and then 38,809 × 197 = 7,655,813.

The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.

Therefore, the volume of the cube is 7,655,813 cm³.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube of 196.9 using the cube of 197.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 196.9 is approximately 7,655,813.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of 197.

The cube of 197 is 197³ = 7,655,813.

Since 196.9 is only a tiny bit less than 197, the cube of 196.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 197.

The cube of 196.9 is approximately 7,655,813 because the difference between 196.9 and 197 is very small.

So, we can approximate the value as 7,655,813.
