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 1321.
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 1321 can be written as 1321³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 1321 × 1321 × 1321.
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 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. 1321³ = 1321 × 1321 × 1321
Step 2: You get 2,303,201,561 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 1321 is 2,303,201,561.
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 1321 into two parts, as 1300 and 21. Let a = 1300 and b = 21, so a + b = 1321
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1300³ 3a²b = 3 × 1300² × 21 3ab² = 3 × 1300 × 21² b³ = 21³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(1300 + 21)³ = 1300³ + 3 × 1300² × 21 + 3 × 1300 × 21² + 21³
1321³ = 2,197,000,000 + 1,071,300 + 859,161 + 9,261
1321³ = 2,303,201,561
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1321 is 2,303,201,561.
To find the cube of 1321 using a calculator, input the number 1321 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1321 × 1321 × 1321. This operation calculates the value of 1321³, resulting in 2,303,201,561. 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 3, 2, and 1
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1321³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1321 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 2,303,201,561.
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 1321?
The cube of 1321 is 2,303,201,561 and the cube root of 1321 is approximately 10.8407.
First, let’s find the cube of 1321.
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 1321³ = 2,303,201,561
Next, we must find the cube root of 1321 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√1321 ≈ 10.8407 Hence, the cube of 1321 is 2,303,201,561 and the cube root of 1321 is approximately 10.8407.
If the side length of the cube is 1321 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 2,303,201,561 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 1321 for the side length: V = 1321³ = 2,303,201,561 cm³.
How much larger is 1321³ than 1300³?
1321³ – 1300³ = 106,201,561.
First, find the cube of 1321³, that is 2,303,201,561
Next, find the cube of 1300³, which is 2,197,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 2,303,201,561 – 2,197,000,000 = 106,201,561
Therefore, 1321³ is 106,201,561 larger than 1300³.
If a cube with a side length of 1321 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 300 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1321 cm is 2,303,201,561 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 1321 means multiplying 1321 by itself three times: 1321 × 1321 = 1,744,641, and then 1,744,641 × 1321 = 2,303,201,561.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 2,303,201,561 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1320 using the cube of 1321.
The cube of 1320 is approximately 2,297,568,000.
First, identify the cube of 1321, The cube of 1321 is 1321³ = 2,303,201,561.
Since 1320 is very close to 1321, the cube of 1320 will be slightly less than the cube of 1321.
By calculation, 1320³ ≈ 2,297,568,000.
So, we can approximate the value of 1320³ as 2,297,568,000.
