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 cubes of 180.
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 180 can be written as 180³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 180 × 180 × 180.
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 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. 180³ = 180 × 180 × 180
Step 2: You get 5,832,000 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 180 is 5,832,000.
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 180 into two parts, as 160 and 20. Let a = 160 and b = 20, so a + b = 180
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 160³ 3a²b = 3 × 160² × 20 3ab² = 3 × 160 × 20² b³ = 20³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(160 + 20)³ = 160³ + 3 × 160² × 20 + 3 × 160 × 20² + 20³
180³ = 4,096,000 + 1,536,000 + 192,000 + 8,000
180³ = 5,832,000
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 180 is 5,832,000.
To find the cube of 180 using a calculator, input the number 180 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 180 × 180 × 180. This operation calculates the value of 180³, resulting in 5,832,000. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 180
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 180³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 180 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 5,832,000.
