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 374.
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 multiplied by itself three times results in a negative number.
The cube of 374 can be written as 374³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 374 × 374 × 374.
To check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods: the multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help students to cube 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. 374³ = 374 × 374 × 374
Step 2: You get 52,282,024 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 374 is 52,282,024.
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 374 into two parts. Let a = 370 and b = 4, so a + b = 374
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 370³ 3a²b = 3 × 370² × 4 3ab² = 3 × 370 × 4² b³ = 4³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (370 + 4)³ = 370³ + 3 × 370² × 4 + 3 × 370 × 4² + 4³ 374³ = 50,653,000 + 164,560 + 17,760 + 64 374³ = 52,282,024
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 374 is 52,282,024.
To find the cube of 374 using a calculator, input the number 374 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 374 × 374 × 374. This operation calculates the value of 374³, resulting in 52,282,024. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 3 followed by 7 and 4
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 374³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 374 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 52,282,024.
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 374?
The cube of 374 is 52,282,024, and the cube root of 374 is approximately 7.22.
First, let’s find the cube of 374.
We know that the 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 374³ = 52,282,024 Next, we must find the cube root of 374.
We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ∛x = y
Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ∛374 ≈ 7.22
Hence the cube of 374 is 52,282,024, and the cube root of 374 is approximately 7.22.
If the side length of the cube is 374 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 52,282,024 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 374 for the side length: V = 374³ = 52,282,024 cm³.
How much larger is 374³ than 300³?
374³ – 300³ = 29,082,024.
First, find the cube of 374³, which is 52,282,024.
Next, find the cube of 300³, which is 27,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 52,282,024 – 27,000,000 = 25,282,024
Therefore, 374³ is 25,282,024 larger than 300³.
If a cube with a side length of 374 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 50 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 374 cm is 52,282,024 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 374 means multiplying 374 by itself three times: 374 × 374 = 139,876, and 139,876 × 374 = 52,282,024.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 52,282,024 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 373.9 using the cube of 374.
The cube of 373.9 is approximately 52,282,024.
First, identify the cube of 374.
The cube of 374 is 374³ = 52,282,024.
Since 373.9 is only a tiny bit less than 374, the cube of 373.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 374.
The cube of 373.9 is approximately 52,282,024 because the difference between 373.9 and 374 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 52,282,024.
