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 877.
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 877 can be written as 877³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 877 × 877 × 877.

In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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.
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. 877³ = 877 × 877 × 877
Step 2: You get 675,126,133 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 877 is 675,126,133.
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 877 into two parts, as 800 and 77. Let a = 800 and b = 77, so a + b = 877
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 800³
3a²b = 3 × 800² × 77
3ab² = 3 × 800 × 77²
b³ = 77
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(800 + 77)³ = 800³ + 3 × 800² × 77 + 3 × 800 × 77² + 77³
877³ = 512,000,000 + 147,840,000 + 14,256,000 + 456,533
877³ = 675,126,133
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 877 is 675,126,133.
To find the cube of 877 using a calculator, input the number 877 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 877 × 877 × 877. This operation calculates the value of 877³, resulting in 675,126,133. 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 7 twice
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 877³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 877 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 675,126,133.
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 877?
The cube of 877 is 675,126,133 and the cube root of 877 is approximately 9.548.
First, let’s find the cube of 877.
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 877³ = 675,126,133
Next, we must find the cube root of 877 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√877 ≈ 9.548
Hence the cube of 877 is 675,126,133 and the cube root of 877 is approximately 9.548.
If the side length of the cube is 877 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 675,126,133 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 877 for the side length: V = 877³ = 675,126,133 cm³.
How much larger is 877³ than 800³?
877³ – 800³ = 163,126,133.
First find the cube of 877³, that is 675,126,133 Next, find the cube of 800³, which is 512,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
675,126,133 – 512,000,000 = 163,126,133
Therefore, 877³ is 163,126,133 larger than 800³.
If a cube with a side length of 877 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 77 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 877 cm is 675,126,133 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 877 means multiplying 877 by itself three times: 877 × 877 = 769,129, and then 769,129 × 877 = 675,126,133.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 675,126,133 cm³.
Estimate the cube 876.9 using the cube 877.
The cube of 876.9 is approximately 675,126,133.
First, identify the cube of 877, The cube of 877 is 877³ = 675,126,133.
Since 876.9 is only a tiny bit less than 877, the cube of 876.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 877.
The cube of 876.9 is approximately 675,126,133 because the difference between 876.9 and 877 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 675,126,133.
