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 881.
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 881 can be written as 881³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 881 × 881 × 881.

To determine 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 learners 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. 881³ = 881 × 881 × 881
Step 2: You get 684,129,881 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 881 is 684,129,881.
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 881 into two parts, such as a and b. Let a = 880 and b = 1, so a + b = 881
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 880³
3a²b = 3 × 880² × 1
3ab² = 3 × 880 × 1²
b³ = 1³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(880 + 1)³ = 880³ + 3 × 880² × 1 + 3 × 880 × 1² + 1³
881³ = 681,472,000 + 2,323,200 + 2,640 + 1
881³ = 684,129,841
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 881 is 684,129,841.
To find the cube of 881 using a calculator, input the number 881 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 881 × 881 × 881. This operation calculates the value of 881³, resulting in 684,129,881. 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 8 and 1
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 881³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 881 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 684,129,881.
There are some typical errors that might occur during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that might be made:

What is the cube and cube root of 881?
The cube of 881 is 684,129,881 and the cube root of 881 is approximately 9.545.
First, let’s find the cube of 881.
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 881³ = 684,129,881
Next, we must find the cube root of 881
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√881 ≈ 9.545
Hence the cube of 881 is 684,129,881 and the cube root of 881 is approximately 9.545.
If the side length of the cube is 881 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 684,129,881 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 881 for the side length: V = 881³ = 684,129,881 cm³.
How much larger is 881³ than 880³?
881³ – 880³ = 2,643,841.
First find the cube of 881, that is 684,129,881
Next, find the cube of 880, which is 681,472,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 684,129,881 – 681,472,000 = 2,643,881
Therefore, 881³ is 2,643,881 larger than 880³.
If a cube with a side length of 881 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 1 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 881 cm is 684,129,881 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 881 means multiplying 881 by itself three times: 881 × 881 = 776,161, and 776,161 × 881 = 684,129,881.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 684,129,881 cm³.
Estimate the cube 880.9 using the cube of 881.
The cube of 880.9 is approximately 684,129,881.
First, identify the cube of 881, The cube of 881 is 881³ = 684,129,881.
Since 880.9 is only a tiny bit less than 881, the cube of 880.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 881.
The cube of 880.9 is approximately 684,129,881 because the difference between 880.9 and 881 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 684,129,881.
