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 859.
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 859 can be written as 859³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 859 × 859 × 859.

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 help in cubing numbers faster and with ease, avoiding confusion or errors during evaluation.
The multiplication method is a process in mathematics used to find the product of numbers by combining them through repeated multiplication. It is a fundamental operation that forms the basis for more complex mathematical concepts.
Step 1: Write down the cube of the given number. 859³ = 859 × 859 × 859
Step 2: You get 635,209,479 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 859 is 635,209,479.
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 859 into two parts, as 800 and 59. Let a = 800 and b = 59, so a + b = 859
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 800³
3a²b = 3 × 800² × 59
3ab² = 3 × 800 × 59²
b³ = 59³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(800 + 59)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 59 + 3 × 800 × 59² + 59³
859³ = 512,000,000 + 113,280,000 + 8,361,600 + 205,379
859³ = 635,209,479
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 859 is 635,209,479.
To find the cube of 859 using a calculator, input the number 859 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 859 × 859 × 859. This operation calculates the value of 859³, resulting in 635,209,479. 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 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 859³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 859 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 635,209,479.
There are some typical errors that might be made during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might occur:

What is the cube and cube root of 859?
The cube of 859 is 635,209,479 and the cube root of 859 is approximately 9.541.
First, let’s find the cube of 859.
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 859³ = 635,209,479
Next, we must find the cube root of 859. 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 ∛859 ≈ 9.541
Hence the cube of 859 is 635,209,479 and the cube root of 859 is approximately 9.541.
If the side length of the cube is 859 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 635,209,479 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 859 for the side length: V = 859³ = 635,209,479 cm³.
How much larger is 859³ than 800³?
859³ – 800³ = 123,209,479.
First find the cube of 859, which is 635,209,479.
Next, find the cube of 800, which is 512,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
635,209,479 – 512,000,000 = 123,209,479
Therefore, 859³ is 123,209,479 larger than 800³.
If a cube with a side length of 859 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 859 cm is 635,209,479 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 859 means multiplying 859 by itself three times: 859 × 859 = 737,881, and then 737,881 × 859 = 635,209,479.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 635,209,479 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 858.9 using the cube of 859.
The cube of 858.9 is approximately 635,209,479.
First, identify the cube of 859. The cube of 859 is 859³ = 635,209,479.
Since 858.9 is only a tiny bit less than 859, the cube of 858.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 859.
The cube of 858.9 is approximately 635,209,479 because the difference between 858.9 and 859 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 635,209,479.
