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 497.
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 497 can be written as 497³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 497 × 497 × 497.
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 calculate the cubes 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. 497³ = 497 × 497 × 497
Step 2: Calculate the product to get 122,504,873 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 497 is 122,504,873.
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 497 into two parts, as a and b. Let a = 400 and b = 97, so a + b = 497
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 400³
3a²b = 3 × 400² × 97
3ab² = 3 × 400 × 97²
b³ = 97³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(400 + 97)³ = 400³ + 3 × 400² × 97 + 3 × 400 × 97² + 97³
497³ = 64,000,000 + 46,560,000 + 11,275,200 + 912,673
497³ = 122,504,873
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 497 is 122,504,873.
To find the cube of 497 using a calculator, input the number 497 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 497 × 497 × 497. This operation calculates the value of 497³, resulting in 122,504,873. 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 9 followed by 7
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 497³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 497 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 122,504,873.
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 497?
The cube of 497 is 122,504,873, and the cube root of 497 is approximately 7.874.
First, let’s find the cube of 497.
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 497³ = 122,504,873
Next, we must find the cube root of 497 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 ∛497 ≈ 7.874
Hence the cube of 497 is 122,504,873, and the cube root of 497 is approximately 7.874.
If the side length of the cube is 497 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 122,504,873 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 497 for the side length: V = 497³ = 122,504,873 cm³.
How much larger is 497³ than 400³?
497³ – 400³ = 58,504,873.
First, find the cube of 497³, which is 122,504,873 Next, find the cube of 400³, which is 64,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
122,504,873 – 64,000,000 = 58,504,873
Therefore, 497³ is 58,504,873 larger than 400³.
If a cube with a side length of 497 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 497 cm is 122,504,873 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 497 means multiplying 497 by itself three times: 497 × 497 = 247,009, and then 247,009 × 497 = 122,504,873.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 122,504,873 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 496 using the cube of 497.
The cube of 496 is approximately 122,504,873.
First, identify the cube of 497, The cube of 497 is 497³ = 122,504,873.
Since 496 is only a tiny bit less than 497, the cube of 496 will be almost the same as the cube of 497.
The cube of 496 is approximately 122,504,873 because the difference between 496 and 497 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 122,504,873.
