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 cubes of 850.
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 850 can be written as 850³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 850 × 850 × 850.

In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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. 850³ = 850 × 850 × 850
Step 2: You get 614,125,000 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 850 is 614,125,000.
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 850 into two parts, as 800 and 50. Let a = 800 and b = 50, so a + b = 850
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 800³
3a²b = 3 × 800² × 50
3ab² = 3 × 800 × 50²
b³ = 50³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(800 + 50)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 50 + 3 × 800 × 50² + 50³
850³ = 512,000,000 + 96,000,000 + 60,000,000 + 125,000
850³ = 614,125,000
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 850 is 614,125,000.
To find the cube of 850 using a calculator, input the number 850 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 850 × 850 × 850. This operation calculates the value of 850³, resulting in 614,125,000. 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 5 and 0
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 850³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 850 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 614,125,000.
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 850?
The cube of 850 is 614,125,000 and the cube root of 850 is approximately 9.448.
First, let’s find the cube of 850.
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 850³ = 614,125,000
Next, we must find the cube root of 850 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 ∛850 ≈ 9.448
Hence, the cube of 850 is 614,125,000 and the cube root of 850 is approximately 9.448.
If the side length of the cube is 850 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 614,125,000 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 850 for the side length: V = 850³ = 614,125,000 cm³.
How much larger is 850³ than 800³?
850³ – 800³ = 102,125,000
First, find the cube of 850³, that is 614,125,000
Next, find the cube of 800³, which is 512,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 614,125,000 – 512,000,000 = 102,125,000
Therefore, the 850³ is 102,125,000 larger than 800³.
If a cube with a side length of 850 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 850 cm is 614,125,000 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 850 means multiplying 850 by itself three times: 850 × 850 = 722,500, and then 722,500 × 850 = 614,125,000.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 614,125,000 cm³.
Estimate the cube 849 using the cube 850.
The cube of 849 is approximately 614,125,000.
First, identify the cube of 850, The cube of 850 is 850³ = 614,125,000.
Since 849 is only a tiny bit less than 850, the cube of 849 will be almost the same as the cube of 850.
The cube of 849 is approximately 614,125,000 because the difference between 849 and 850 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 614,125,000.
