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 the cube of 866.
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 866 can be written as 866³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 866 × 866 × 866.

In order 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 will help kids to cube 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. 866³ = 866 × 866 × 866
Step 2: You get 649,280,696 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 866 is 649,280,696.
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 866 into two parts, as 800 and 66. Let a = 800 and b = 66, so a + b = 866
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 800³
3a²b = 3 × 800² × 66
3ab² = 3 × 800 × 66²
b³ = 66³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(800 + 66)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 66 + 3 × 800 × 66² + 66³
866³ = 512,000,000 + 126,720,000 + 10,454,400 + 287,496
866³ = 649,280,696
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 866 is 649,280,696.
To find the cube of 866 using a calculator, input the number 866 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 866 × 866 × 866. This operation calculates the value of 866³, resulting in 649,280,696. 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 6 and 6
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 866³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 866 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 649,280,696.

What is the cube and cube root of 866?
The cube of 866 is 649,280,696 and the cube root of 866 is approximately 9.545.
First, let’s find the cube of 866.
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 866³ = 649,280,696
Next, we must find the cube root of 866.
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√866 ≈ 9.545
Hence the cube of 866 is 649,280,696 and the cube root of 866 is approximately 9.545.
If the side length of a cube is 866 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 649,280,696 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 866 for the side length: V = 866³ = 649,280,696 cm³.
How much larger is 866³ than 800³?
866³ – 800³ = 137,280,696.
First, find the cube of 866, which is 649,280,696.
Next, find the cube of 800, which is 512,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 649,280,696 – 512,000,000 = 137,280,696.
Therefore, 866³ is 137,280,696 larger than 800³.
If a cube with a side length of 866 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 866 cm is 649,280,696 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 866 means multiplying 866 by itself three times: 866 × 866 = 749,956, and then 749,956 × 866 = 649,280,696.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 649,280,696 cm³.
Estimate the cube 865.9 using the cube of 866.
The cube of 865.9 is approximately 649,280,696.
First, identify the cube of 866, The cube of 866 is 866³ = 649,280,696.
Since 865.9 is only a tiny bit less than 866, the cube of 865.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 866.
The cube of 865.9 is approximately 649,280,696 because the difference between 865.9 and 866 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 649,280,696.
