Cube of 244
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 244.
Cube of 244
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 244 can be written as 244³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 244 × 244 × 244.
How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 244
In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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
- Using a Formula (a3)
- Using a Calculator
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. 244³ = 244 × 244 × 244
Step 2: You get 14,563,784 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 244 is 14,563,784.
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 244 into two parts. Let a = 240 and b = 4, so a + b = 244
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 240³ 3a²b = 3 × 240² × 4 3ab² = 3 × 240 × 4² b³ = 4³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (240 + 4)³ = 240³ + 3 × 240² × 4 + 3 × 240 × 4² + 4³ 244³ = 13,824,000 + 691,200 + 11,520 + 64 244³ = 14,526,784
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 244 is 14,526,784.
Using a Calculator
To find the cube of 244 using a calculator, input the number 244 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 244 × 244 × 244. This operation calculates the value of 244³, resulting in 14,526,784. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 2 followed by 4 twice
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 244³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 244 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 14,526,784.
Tips and Tricks for the Cube of 244
- 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.
Common Mistakes to Avoid When Calculating the Cube of 244
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:
Mistake 1
Incorrect Multiplication
Kids might multiply the numbers only twice. That is, 244 × 244 and not 244 × 244 × 244. Always remember that 244³ = 244 × 244 × 244.
Solved Examples on Cube of 244
Problem 1
What is the cube and cube root of 244?
The cube of 244 is 14,526,784 and the cube root of 244 is approximately 6.274.
Explanation
First, let’s find the cube of 244.
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 244³ = 14,526,784 Next, we must find the cube root of 244
We know that 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√244 ≈ 6.274
Hence, the cube of 244 is 14,526,784 and the cube root of 244 is approximately 6.274.
Problem 2
If the side length of the cube is 244 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 14,526,784 cm³.
Explanation
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 244 for the side length: V = 244³ = 14,526,784 cm³.
Problem 3
How much larger is 244³ than 200³?
244³ – 200³ = 7,526,784.
Explanation
First find the cube of 244³, that is 14,526,784
Next, find the cube of 200³, which is 8,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 14,526,784 – 8,000,000 = 7,526,784
Therefore, 244³ is 7,526,784 larger than 200³.
Problem 4
If a cube with a side length of 244 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 244 cm is 14,526,784 cm³
Explanation
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 244 means multiplying 244 by itself three times: 244 × 244 = 59,536, and then 59,536 × 244 = 14,526,784.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 14,526,784 cm³.
Problem 5
Estimate the cube 243.9 using the cube 244.
The cube of 243.9 is approximately 14,526,784.
Explanation
First, identify the cube of 244,
The cube of 244 is 244³ = 14,526,784.
Since 243.9 is only a tiny bit less than 244, the cube of 243.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 244.
The cube of 243.9 is approximately 14,526,784 because the difference between 243.9 and 244 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 14,526,784.
