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 646.
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 646 can be written as 646³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 646 × 646 × 646.
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 kids 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. 646³ = 646 × 646 × 646
Step 2: You get 269,942,136 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 646 is 269,942,136.
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 646 into two parts. Let a = 600 and b = 46, so a + b = 646
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 600³
3a²b = 3 × 600² × 46
3ab² = 3 × 600 × 46²
b³ = 46³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(600 + 46)³ = 600³ + 3 × 600² × 46 + 3 × 600 × 46² + 46³
646³ = 216,000,000 + 49,680,000 + 3,793,200 + 97,336
646³ = 269,942,136
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 646 is 269,942,136.
To find the cube of 646 using a calculator, input the number 646 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 646 × 646 × 646. This operation calculates the value of 646³, resulting in 269,942,136. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 6, 4, 6
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 646³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 646 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 269,942,136.
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 646?
The cube of 646 is 269,942,136 and the cube root of 646 is approximately 8.629.
First, let’s find the cube of 646.
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 646³ = 269,942,136
Next, we must find the cube root of 646 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 ∛646 ≈ 8.629
Hence the cube of 646 is 269,942,136 and the cube root of 646 is approximately 8.629.
If the side length of the cube is 646 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 269,942,136 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 646 for the side length: V = 646³ = 269,942,136 cm³.
How much larger is 646³ than 246³?
646³ – 246³ = 266,238,264.
First, find the cube of 646, that is 269,942,136.
Next, find the cube of 246, which is 3,703,872.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
269,942,136 – 3,703,872 = 266,238,264
Therefore, 646³ is 266,238,264 larger than 246³.
If a cube with a side length of 646 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 646 cm is 269,942,136 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 646 means multiplying 646 by itself three times: 646 × 646 = 417,316, and then 417,316 × 646 = 269,942,136.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 269,942,136 cm³.
Estimate the cube 645.9 using the cube 646.
The cube of 645.9 is approximately 269,942,136.
First, identify the cube of 646, The cube of 646 is 646³ = 269,942,136.
Since 645.9 is only a tiny bit less than 646, the cube of 645.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 646.
The cube of 645.9 is approximately 269,942,136 because the difference between 645.9 and 646 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 269,942,136.
