Cube of 837

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 837 can be written as 837³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 837 × 837 × 837.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 837

In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as the 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.

By Multiplication Method

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. 837³ = 837 × 837 × 837

 

Step 2: You get 586,947,753 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 837 is 586,947,753.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Formula (a³)

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 837 into two parts. Let a = 800 and b = 37, so a + b = 837

 

Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

 

Step 3: Calculate each term

 

a³ = 800³

 

3a²b = 3 × 800² × 37

 

3ab² = 3 × 800 × 37²

 

b³ = 37³

 

Step 4: Add all the terms together:

 

(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

 

(800 + 37)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 37 + 3 × 800 × 37² + 37³

 

837³ = 512,000,000 + 71,040,000 + 32,832,000 + 50,653

 

837³ = 586,947,753

 

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 837 is 586,947,753.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of 837 using a calculator, input the number 837 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 837 × 837 × 837. This operation calculates the value of 837³, resulting in 586,947,753. 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 3 and then 7.

 

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 837³.

 

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 837 three times manually.

 

Step 5: The calculator will display 586,947,753.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Calculating the Cube of 837

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:

Mistake 1

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Incorrect Multiplication

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Kids might multiply the numbers only twice. That is, 837 × 837 and not 837 × 837 × 837. Always remember that 837³ = 837 × 837 × 837.

Mistake 2

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Misunderstanding the Cube Formula

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

There is a possibility that kids might be confused between the formulas of square numbers and cube numbers. The square number formula is (a + b)² and the cube number formula is (a + b)³. Always review the formula for the difference between squaring and cubing.

Mistake 3

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Calculator Misuse

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Kids might press the wrong buttons, such as using the square (x²) function instead of the cube (x³) function or skipping steps in manual multiplication. Always double-check your inputs on the calculator, and if it lacks a cube function, perform the multiplication in steps.

Mistake 4

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Misplacing Zeros

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Misplacing zeros during manual multiplication leads to incorrect results like 586,947,75 instead of 586,947,753. For this, kids should always double-check their answers.

Mistake 5

Red Cross Icon Indicating Mistakes to Avoid in This Math Topic

Ignoring the Binomial Formula

Green Checkmark Icon Indicating Correct Solutions in This Math Topic

Kids might attempt to split the 837 into 800 + 37, but not apply the correct binomial expansion. In order to avoid this, carefully calculate each term step-by-step during the application of the formula.

Problem 1

What is the cube and cube root of 837?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 837 is 586,947,753 and the cube root of 837 is approximately 9.431.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of 837.

 

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 837³ = 586,947,753

 

Next, we must find the cube root of 837 We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’, such that ³√x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number

 

So, we get ³√837 ≈ 9.431

 

Hence the cube of 837 is 586,947,753 and the cube root of 837 is approximately 9.431.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of 837 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 100 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The volume of the cube with a side length of 837 cm is 586,947,753 cm³.

Explanation

To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).

 

Cubing 837 means multiplying 837 by itself three times: 837 × 837 = 700,569, and then 700,569 × 837 = 586,947,753.

 

The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.

 

Therefore, the volume of the cube is 586,947,753 cm³.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube of 836.9 using the cube of 837.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The cube of 836.9 is approximately 586,947,753.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of 837, The cube of 837 is 837³ = 586,947,753.

 

Since 836.9 is only a tiny bit less than 837, the cube of 836.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 837.

 

The cube of 836.9 is approximately 586,947,753 because the difference between 836.9 and 837 is very small.
