When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used in comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 778.
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 778 can be written as 778³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 778 × 778 × 778.
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 students 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. 778³ = 778 × 778 × 778
Step 2: Multiply the numbers to get the answer. Hence, the cube of 778 is 471,545,352.
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 778 into two parts, as 700 and 78. Let a = 700 and b = 78, so a + b = 778
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 700³
3a²b = 3 × 700² × 78
3ab² = 3 × 700 × 78²
b³ = 78³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(700 + 78)³ = 700³ + 3 × 700² × 78 + 3 × 700 × 78² + 78³
778³ = 343,000,000 + 114,660,000 + 12,748,800 + 474,552
778³ = 471,545,352
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 778 is 471,545,352.
To find the cube of 778 using a calculator, input the number 778 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 778 × 778 × 778. This operation calculates the value of 778³, resulting in 471,545,352. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Enter 7, 7, 8 using the calculator keys.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 778³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 778 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 471,545,352.
There are some typical errors that students might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that students might make:
What is the cube and cube root of 778?
The cube of 778 is 471,545,352 and the cube root of 778 is approximately 9.264.
First, let’s find the cube of 778.
We know that the cube of a number is x³ = y, where x is the given number and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 778³ = 471,545,352.
Next, we must find the cube root of 778. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ∛778 ≈ 9.264.
Hence, the cube of 778 is 471,545,352 and the cube root of 778 is approximately 9.264.
If the side length of the cube is 778 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 471,545,352 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 778 for the side length: V = 778³ = 471,545,352 cm³.
How much larger is 778³ than 700³?
778³ – 700³ = 128,545,352.
First, find the cube of 778, which is 471,545,352.
Next, find the cube of 700, which is 343,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 471,545,352 – 343,000,000 = 128,545,352.
Therefore, 778³ is 128,545,352 larger than 700³.
If a cube with a side length of 778 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 778 cm is 471,545,352 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 778 means multiplying 778 by itself three times: 778 × 778 = 605,284, and then 605,284 × 778 = 471,545,352.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 471,545,352 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 777.9 using the cube of 778.
The cube of 777.9 is approximately 471,545,352.
First, identify the cube of 778, which is 778³ = 471,545,352.
Since 777.9 is only a tiny bit less than 778, the cube of 777.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 778.
The cube of 777.9 is approximately 471,545,352 because the difference between 777.9 and 778 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 471,545,352.
