Cube of 879

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 879 can be written as 879³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 879 × 879 × 879.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 879

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 to cube the numbers faster and easier without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers. By Multiplication Method Using a Formula Using a Calculator

By Multiplication Method

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. 879³ = 879 × 879 × 879 Step 2: You get 679,477,039 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 879 is 679,477,039.

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 879 into two parts, as a and b. Let a = 870 and b = 9, so a + b = 879 Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 870³ 3a²b = 3 × 870² × 9 3ab² = 3 × 870 × 9² b³ = 9³ Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (870 + 9)³ = 870³ + 3 × 870² × 9 + 3 × 870 × 9² + 9³ 879³ = 658,503,000 + 204,930 + 63,450 + 729 879³ = 679,477,039 Step 5: Hence, the cube of 879 is 679,477,039.

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of 879 using a calculator, input the number 879 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 879 × 879 × 879. This operation calculates the value of 879³, resulting in 679,477,039. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation. Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly. Step 2: Press 8 followed by 7 and 9 Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 879³. Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 879 three times manually. Step 5: The calculator will display 679,477,039.

Problem 1

What is the cube and cube root of 879?

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

The cube of 879 is 679,477,039 and the cube root of 879 is approximately 9.568.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of 879. 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 879³ = 679,477,039 Next, we must find the cube root of 879 We know that 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 ∛879 ≈ 9.568 Hence the cube of 879 is 679,477,039 and the cube root of 879 is approximately 9.568.

Problem 2

If the side length of the cube is 879 cm, what is the volume?

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

The volume is 679,477,039 cm³.

Explanation

Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 879 for the side length: V = 879³ = 679,477,039 cm³.

Problem 3

How much larger is 879³ than 770³?

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

879³ – 770³ = 260,858,039.

Explanation

First find the cube of 879, that is 679,477,039 Next, find the cube of 770, which is 418,619,000 Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 679,477,039 – 418,619,000 = 260,858,039 Therefore, 879³ is 260,858,039 larger than 770³.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of 879 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 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 879 cm is 679,477,039 cm³.

Explanation

To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 879 means multiplying 879 by itself three times: 879 × 879 = 772,641, and then 772,641 × 879 = 679,477,039. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 679,477,039 cm³.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube 878.9 using the cube 879.

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

The cube of 878.9 is approximately 679,477,039.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of 879, The cube of 879 is 879³ = 679,477,039. Since 878.9 is only a tiny bit less than 879, the cube of 878.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 879. The cube of 878.9 is approximately 679,477,039 because the difference between 878.9 and 879 is very small. So, we can approximate the value as 679,477,039.
