When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used when comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 1047.
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 1047 can be written as 1047³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 1047 × 1047 × 1047.
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 you cube the numbers faster and more easily without feeling confused or stuck while evaluating the answers.
By Multiplication Method
Using a Formula Using a Calculator
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. 1047³ = 1047 × 1047 × 1047
Step 2: Calculate the product to get the answer. Hence, the cube of 1047 is 1,148,688,423.
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 1047 into two parts, as a and b. Let a = 1000 and b = 47, so a + b = 1047
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 1000³ 3a²b = 3 × 1000² × 47 3ab² = 3 × 1000 × 47² b³ = 47³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (1000 + 47)³ = 1000³ + 3 × 1000² × 47 + 3 × 1000 × 47² + 47³ 1047³ = 1,000,000,000 + 141,000,000 + 6,627,000 + 103,823 1047³ = 1,148,688,423
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 1047 is 1,148,688,423.
To find the cube of 1047 using a calculator, input the number 1047 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 1047 × 1047 × 1047. This operation calculates the value of 1047³, resulting in 1,148,688,423. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Enter 1047
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 1047³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 1047 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,148,688,423.
The cube of any even number is always even, while the cube of any odd number is always odd. The product of two or more perfect cube numbers is always a perfect cube.
A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of three identical groups of equal prime factors.
There are some typical errors that might be made during the process of cubing a number.
Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might occur:
What is the cube and cube root of 1047?
The cube of 1047 is 1,148,688,423 and the cube root of 1047 is approximately 10.12.
First, let’s find the cube of 1047. We know that cube of a number, such that x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number So, we get 1047³ = 1,148,688,423
Next, we must find the cube root of 1047
We know that cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y
So, we get ∛1047 ≈ 10.12 Hence the cube of 1047 is 1,148,688,423 and its cube root is approximately 10.12.
If the side length of the cube is 1047 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,148,688,423 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³. Substitute 1047 for the side length: V = 1047³ = 1,148,688,423 cm³.
How much larger is 1047³ than 1000³?
1047³ – 1000³ = 148,688,423.
First find the cube of 1047, which is 1,148,688,423. Next, find the cube of 1000, which is 1,000,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,148,688,423 – 1,000,000,000 = 148,688,423 Therefore, 1047³ is 148,688,423 larger than 1000³.
If a cube with a side length of 1047 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 200 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 1047 cm is 1,148,688,423 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 1047 means multiplying 1047 by itself three times: 1047 × 1047 = 1,096,209, and then 1,096,209 × 1047 = 1,148,688,423. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,148,688,423 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 1046 using the cube of 1047.
The cube of 1046 is approximately 1,148,688,423.
First, identify the cube of 1047, The cube of 1047 is 1047³ = 1,148,688,423. Since 1046 is only slightly less than 1047, the cube of 1046 will be almost the same as the cube of 1047.
The cube of 1046 is approximately 1,148,688,423 because the difference between 1046 and 1047 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,148,688,423.
