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 816.
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 816 can be written as 816³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 816 × 816 × 816.

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 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. 816³ = 816 × 816 × 816
Step 2: You get 542,890,176 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 816 is 542,890,176.
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 816 into two parts. Let a = 800 and b = 16, so a + b = 816
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 800³
3a²b = 3 × 800² × 16
3ab² = 3 × 800 × 16²
b³ = 16³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(800 + 16)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 16 + 3 × 800 × 16² + 16³
816³ = 512,000,000 + 307,200 + 614,400 + 4,096
816³ = 542,890,176
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 816 is 542,890,176.
To find the cube of 816 using a calculator, input the number 816 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 816 × 816 × 816. This operation calculates the value of 816³, resulting in 542,890,176. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 8 followed by 1 and 6.
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 816³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 816 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 542,890,176.
There are some typical errors that might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might happen:

What is the cube and cube root of 816?
The cube of 816 is 542,890,176 and the cube root of 816 is approximately 9.334.
First, let’s find the cube of 816.
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 816³ = 542,890,176
Next, we must find the cube root of 816.
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 ∛816 ≈ 9.334
Hence the cube of 816 is 542,890,176 and the cube root of 816 is approximately 9.334.
If the side length of the cube is 816 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 542,890,176 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 816 for the side length: V = 816³ = 542,890,176 cm³.
How much larger is 816³ than 800³?
816³ – 800³ = 30,890,176.
First, find the cube of 816, which is 542,890,176.
Next, find the cube of 800, which is 512,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 542,890,176 – 512,000,000 = 30,890,176
Therefore, 816³ is 30,890,176 larger than 800³.
If a cube with a side length of 816 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 16 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 816 cm is 542,890,176 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 816 means multiplying 816 by itself three times: 816 × 816 = 665,856, and then 665,856 × 816 = 542,890,176.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 542,890,176 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 815.9 using the cube of 816.
The cube of 815.9 is approximately 542,890,176.
First, identify the cube of 816, The cube of 816 is 816³ = 542,890,176.
Since 815.9 is only a tiny bit less than 816, the cube of 815.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 816.
The cube of 815.9 is approximately 542,890,176 because the difference between 815.9 and 816 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 542,890,176.
