A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various uses in real life, such as finding the volume of cube-shaped objects and designing structures. We will now find the cube root of 23328 and explain the methods used.
We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓.
In exponential form, ∛23328 is written as 23328(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 23328, then y3 can be 23328. The cube root of 23328 is an exact value, which is 28.
Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 23328. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
To find the cube root of a perfect number, we often follow the prime factorization method. Since 23328 is a perfect cube, we can use this method.
Let's find the cube root of 23328 using the prime factorization method:
The prime factorization of 23328 is:
23328 = 24 × 33 × 24 × 33.
Grouping the factors in triples,
we have: (2 × 2) × (2 × 2) × (3 × 3) × (3 × 3)
Taking one number from each group, we get: 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 = 28
The cube root of 23328 is 28.
Finding the perfect cube of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes the students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped toy that has a total volume of 23328 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the box equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛23328 = 28 units
To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume.
Therefore, the side length of the cube is exactly 28 units.
A company manufactures 23328 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 10000 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 13328 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount:
23328 - 10000 = 13328 cubic meters.
A bottle holds 23328 cubic meters of volume. Another bottle holds a volume of 5000 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?
The total volume of the combined bottles is 28328 cubic meters.
Let’s add the volume of both bottles:
23328 + 5000 = 28328 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 23328 is multiplied by 3, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
3 × 28 = 84
The cube of 84 = 592704
When we multiply the cube root of 23328 by 3, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.
Find ∛(10000 + 13328).
∛(10000 + 13328) = ∛23328 ≈ 28
As shown in the question ∛(10000 + 13328), we can simplify that by adding them.
So, 10000 + 13328 = 23328.
Then we use this step: ∛23328 = 28 to get the answer.
Cube root: The number that is multiplied three times by itself to get the given number is the cube root of that number.
Perfect cube: A number is a perfect cube when it is the product of multiplying a number three times by itself. A perfect cube always results in a whole number. For example: 2 × 2 × 2 = 8, therefore, 8 is a perfect cube.
Exponent: The exponent form of the number denotes the number of times a number can be multiplied by itself. In 23328(1/3), ⅓ is the exponent which denotes the cube root of 23328.
Radical sign: The symbol that is used to represent a root which is expressed as (∛).
Rational number: Numbers that can be expressed as a fraction or an exact whole number are rational. For example, the cube root of 23328 is rational because it is exactly 28.
