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 cubes of 479.
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 multiplying a negative number by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 479 can be written as 479³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 479 × 479 × 479.
In order 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 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. 479³ = 479 × 479 × 479
Step 2: You get 109,272,239 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 479 is 109,272,239.
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 479 into two parts. Let a = 400 and b = 79, so a + b = 479
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 400³
3a²b = 3 × 400² × 79
3ab² = 3 × 400 × 79²
b³ = 79³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(400 + 79)³ = 400³ + 3 × 400² × 79 + 3 × 400 × 79² + 79³
479³ = 64,000,000 + 37,920,000 + 7,488,000 + 493,039
479³ = 109,272,239
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 479 is 109,272,239.
To find the cube of 479 using a calculator, input the number 479 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 479 × 479 × 479. This operation calculates the value of 479³, resulting in 109,272,239. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 4 followed by 7 and 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 479³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 479 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 109,272,239.
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 479?
The cube of 479 is 109,272,239 and the cube root of 479 is approximately 7.825.
First, let’s find the cube of 479.
We know that the cube of a number is such that x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 479³ = 109,272,239
Next, we must find the cube root of 479 We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is such that ∛x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ∛479 ≈ 7.825
Hence the cube of 479 is 109,272,239 and the cube root of 479 is approximately 7.825.
If the side length of the cube is 479 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 109,272,239 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 479 for the side length: V = 479³ = 109,272,239 cm³.
How much larger is 479³ than 400³?
479³ – 400³ = 45,272,239.
First, find the cube of 479³, which is 109,272,239
Next, find the cube of 400³, which is 64,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
109,272,239 – 64,000,000 = 45,272,239
Therefore, 479³ is 45,272,239 larger than 400³.
If a cube with a side length of 479 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 79 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 479 cm is 109,272,239 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 479 means multiplying 479 by itself three times: 479 × 479 = 229,441, and then 229,441 × 479 = 109,272,239.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 109,272,239 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 478.9 using the cube of 479.
The cube of 478.9 is approximately 109,272,239.
First, identify the cube of 479, The cube of 479 is 479³ = 109,272,239.
Since 478.9 is only a tiny bit less than 479, the cube of 478.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 479.
The cube of 478.9 is approximately 109,272,239 because the difference between 478.9 and 479 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 109,272,239.
