When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 846.
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 846 can be written as 846³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 846 × 846 × 846.

To check whether a number is a cube number, 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. 846³ = 846 × 846 × 846
Step 2: You get 605,922,936 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 846 is 605,922,936.
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 846 into two parts, as 800 and 46. Let a = 800 and b = 46, so a + b = 846
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 800³
3a²b = 3 × 800² × 46
3ab² = 3 × 800 × 46²
b³ = 46³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(800 + 46)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 46 + 3 × 800 × 46² + 46³
846³ = 512,000,000 + 88,320,000 + 50,688 + 97,336
846³ = 605,922,936
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 846 is 605,922,936.
To find the cube of 846 using a calculator, input the number 846 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 846 × 846 × 846. This operation calculates the value of 846³, resulting in 605,922,936. 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 4 and 6
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 846³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 846 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 605,922,936.

What is the cube and cube root of 846?
The cube of 846 is 605,922,936, and the cube root of 846 is approximately 9.439.
First, let’s find the cube of 846.
We know that 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 846³ = 605,922,936
Next, we must find the cube root of 846 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 ∛846 ≈ 9.439
Hence the cube of 846 is 605,922,936, and the cube root of 846 is approximately 9.439.
If the side length of the cube is 846 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 605,922,936 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 846 for the side length: V = 846³ = 605,922,936 cm³.
How much larger is 846³ than 800³?
846³ – 800³ = 93,922,936.
First, find the cube of 846³, that is 605,922,936
Next, find the cube of 800³, which is 512,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 605,922,936 – 512,000,000 = 93,922,936
Therefore, 846³ is 93,922,936 larger than 800³.
If a cube with a side length of 846 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 846 cm is 605,922,936 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 846 means multiplying 846 by itself three times: 846 × 846 = 715,716, and then 715,716 × 846 = 605,922,936.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 605,922,936 cm³.
Estimate the cube 845 using the cube 846.
The cube of 845 is approximately 605,922,936.
First, identify the cube of 846, The cube of 846 is 846³ = 605,922,936.
Since 845 is only a tiny bit less than 846, the cube of 845 will be slightly less than the cube of 846.
The cube of 845 is approximately 605,922,936 because the difference between 845 and 846 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 605,922,936.
