When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing the sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 148.
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 148 can be written as 148³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 148 × 148 × 148.
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.
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. 148³ = 148 × 148 × 148
Step 2: Calculate the answer. You get 3,238,192 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 148 is 3,238,192.
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 148 into two parts, as desired. Let a = 140 and b = 8, so a + b = 148
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 140³ 3a²b = 3 × 140² × 8 3ab² = 3 × 140 × 8² b³ = 8³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(140 + 8)³ = 140³ + 3 × 140² × 8 + 3 × 140 × 8² + 8³
148³ = 2,744,000 + 470,400 + 26,880 + 512
148³ = 3,238,192
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 148 is 3,238,192.
To find the cube of 148 using a calculator, input the number 148 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 148 × 148 × 148. This operation calculates the value of 148³, resulting in 3,238,192. 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 4 and 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 148³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 148 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 3,238,192.
