When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is often used while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about the cube of 899.
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 899 can be written as 899³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 899 × 899 × 899.

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 students to cube the numbers faster and more easily 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.
8993 = 899 × 899 × 899
Step 2: You get 727,272,599 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 899 is 727,272,599.
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 899 into two parts, as 800 and 99.
Let a = 800 and b = 99, so a + b = 899
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 8003
3a²b = 3 × 8002 × 99
3ab² = 3 × 800 × 992
b³ = 993
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)3 = a3 + 3a2b + 3ab2 + b3
(800 + 99)3 = 8003 + 3 × 8002 × 99 + 3 × 800 × 992 + 993
8993 = 512,000,000 + 190,080,000 + 23,652,000 + 970,299
8993 = 727,272,599
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 899 is 727,272,599.
To find the cube of 899 using a calculator, input the number 899 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 899 × 899 × 899. This operation calculates the value of 899³, resulting in 727,272,599. 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 9 and 9
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 899³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 899 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 727,272,599.

What is the cube and cube root of 899?
The cube of 899 is 727,272,599, and the cube root of 899 is approximately 9.643.
First, let’s find the cube of 899.
We know that the cube of a number is such that x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number.
So, we get 899³ = 727,272,599.
Next, we must find the cube root of 899. We know that the cube root of a number ‘x’ is such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, we get ∛899 ≈ 9.643.
Hence, the cube of 899 is 727,272,599, and the cube root of 899 is approximately 9.643.
If the side length of the cube is 899 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 727,272,599 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 899 for the side length: V = 899³ = 727,272,599 cm³.
How much larger is 899³ than 799³?
899³ – 799³ = 392,304,799.
First, find the cube of 899³, which is 727,272,599.
Next, find the cube of 799³, which is 334,967,800.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
727,272,599 – 334,967,800 = 392,304,799.
Therefore, 899³ is 392,304,799 larger than 799³.
If a cube with a side length of 899 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 99 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 899 cm is 727,272,599 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 899 means multiplying 899 by itself three times: 899 × 899 = 808,201, and then 808,201 × 899 = 727,272,599.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³) because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 727,272,599 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 898.9 using the cube of 899.
The cube of 898.9 is approximately 727,272,599.
First, identify the cube of 899,
The cube of 899 is 899³ = 727,272,599.
Since 898.9 is only a tiny bit less than 899, the cube of 898.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 899.
The cube of 898.9 is approximately 727,272,599 because the difference between 898.9 and 899 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 727,272,599.
