When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 662.
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 662 can be written as 662³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 662 × 662 × 662.
To determine 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 methods help in cubing numbers faster and easier without confusion or getting stuck while evaluating answers. -
The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of numbers or quantities by combining them through repeated multiplication. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.
Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. 662³ = 662 × 662 × 662
Step 2: You get 289,344,328 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 662 is 289,344,328.
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 662 into two parts, as a and b. Let a = 660 and b = 2, so a + b = 662
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 660³
3a²b = 3 × 660² × 2
3ab² = 3 × 660 × 2²
b³ = 2³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(660 + 2)³ = 660³ + 3 × 660² × 2 + 3 × 660 × 2² + 2³
662³ = 287,496,000 + 2,613,600 + 7,920 + 8
662³ = 289,344,328
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 662 is 289,344,328.
To find the cube of 662 using a calculator, input the number 662 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 662 × 662 × 662. This operation calculates the value of 662³, resulting in 289,344,328. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Enter 662
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 662³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 662 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 289,344,328.
There are some typical errors that might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes:
What is the cube and cube root of 662?
The cube of 662 is 289,344,328 and the cube root of 662 is approximately 8.754.
First, let’s find the cube of 662.
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 662³ = 289,344,328.
Next, we must find the cube root of 662.
The 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 ∛662 ≈ 8.754.
Hence, the cube of 662 is 289,344,328 and the cube root of 662 is approximately 8.754.
If the side length of the cube is 662 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 289,344,328 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 662 for the side length: V = 662³ = 289,344,328 cm³.
How much larger is 662³ than 640³?
662³ – 640³ = 34,643,328.
First find the cube of 662³, which is 289,344,328.
Next, find the cube of 640³, which is 262,144,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 289,344,328 – 262,144,000 = 34,643,328.
Therefore, 662³ is 34,643,328 larger than 640³.
If a cube with a side length of 662 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 662 cm is 289,344,328 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 662 means multiplying 662 by itself three times: 662 × 662 = 438,244, and then 438,244 × 662 = 289,344,328.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 289,344,328 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 661.9 using the cube of 662.
The cube of 661.9 is approximately 289,344,328.
First, identify the cube of 662.
The cube of 662 is 662³ = 289,344,328. Since 661.9 is only a tiny bit less than 662, the cube of 661.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 662.
The cube of 661.9 is approximately 289,344,328 because the difference between 661.9 and 662 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 289,344,328.
