Cube of 839

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 839 can be written as 839³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 839 × 839 × 839.

How to Calculate the Value of Cube of 839

In order 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 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. 839³ = 839 × 839 × 839

 

Step 2: You get 590,919,719 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 839 is 590,919,719.

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 839 into two parts, as 800 and 39. Let a = 800 and b = 39, so a + b = 839

 

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

 

Step 3: Calculate each term

 

a³ = 800³

 

3a²b = 3 × 800² × 39

 

3ab² = 3 × 800 × 39²

 

b³ = 39³

 

Step 4: Add all the terms together:

 

(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³

 

(800 + 39)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 39 + 3 × 800 × 39² + 39³

 

839³ = 512,000,000 + 74,880,000 + 36,504,000 + 59,319

 

839³ = 590,919,719

 

Step 5: Hence, the cube of 839 is 590,919,719.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

Using a Calculator

To find the cube of 839 using a calculator, input the number 839 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 839 × 839 × 839. This operation calculates the value of 839³, resulting in 590,919,719. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.

 

Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.

 

Step 2: Enter 8, 3, 9

 

Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 839³.

 

Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 839 three times manually.

 

Step 5: The calculator will display 590,919,719.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Calculating the Cube of 839

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, 839 × 839 and not 839 × 839 × 839. Always remember that 839³ = 839 × 839 × 839.

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 can lead to incorrect results. For example, you might mistakenly calculate the result as 590,919,71 instead of 590,919,719. 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 839 into 800 + 39, 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 839?

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

The cube of 839 is 590,919,719 and the cube root of 839 is approximately 9.464.

Explanation

First, let’s find the cube of 839.

 

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 839³ = 590,919,719

 

Next, we must find the cube root of 839. 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 ∛839 ≈ 9.464

 

Hence, the cube of 839 is 590,919,719 and the cube root of 839 is approximately 9.464.

Problem 3

How much larger is 839³ than 800³?

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

839³ – 800³ = 78,919,719.

Explanation

First find the cube of 839, which is 590,919,719.

 

Next, find the cube of 800, which is 512,000,000.

 

Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 590,919,719 – 512,000,000 = 78,919,719

 

Therefore, 839³ is 78,919,719 larger than 800³.

Problem 4

If a cube with a side length of 839 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 39 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 839 cm is 590,919,719 cm³.

Explanation

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

 

Cubing 839 means multiplying 839 by itself three times: 839 × 839 = 703,921, and then 703,921 × 839 = 590,919,719.

 

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

 

Therefore, the volume of the cube is 590,919,719 cm³.

Problem 5

Estimate the cube of 839.1 using the cube of 839.

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

The cube of 839.1 is approximately 590,919,719.

Explanation

First, identify the cube of 839, The cube of 839 is 839³ = 590,919,719.

 

Since 839.1 is only a tiny bit more than 839, the cube of 839.1 will be almost the same as the cube of 839.

 

The cube of 839.1 is approximately 590,919,719 because the difference between 839 and 839.1 is very small.

 

So, we can approximate the value as 590,919,719.
