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 904.
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 904 can be written as 904³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 904 × 904 × 904.

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 students 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 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.
904³ = 904 × 904 × 904
Step 2: You get 739,804,864 as the answer.
Hence, the cube of 904 is 739,804,864.
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 904 into two parts.
Let a = 900 and b = 4, so a + b = 904
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 900³
3a²b = 3 × 900² × 4
3ab² = 3 × 900 × 4²
b³ = 4³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(900 + 4)³ = 900³ + 3 × 900² × 4 + 3 × 900 × 4² + 4³
904³ = 729,000,000 + 9,720,000 + 43,200 + 64
904³ = 739,804,864
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 904 is 739,804,864.
To find the cube of 904 using a calculator, input the number 904 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 904 × 904 × 904. This operation calculates the value of 904³, resulting in 739,804,864. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 9 followed by 0 and 4
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 904³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 904 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 739,804,864.
There are some typical errors that students might make during the process of cubing a number. Let us take a look at five of the major mistakes that students might make:

What is the cube and cube root of 904?
The cube of 904 is 739,804,864 and the cube root of 904 is approximately 9.654.
First, let’s find the cube of 904.
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 904³ = 739,804,864
Next, we must find the cube root of 904.
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 ∛904 ≈ 9.654 Hence the cube of 904 is 739,804,864 and the cube root of 904 is approximately 9.654.
If the side length of the cube is 904 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 739,804,864 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 904 for the side length: V = 904³ = 739,804,864 cm³.
How much larger is 904³ than 804³?
904³ – 804³ = 218,008,864.
First, find the cube of 904³, that is 739,804,864.
Next, find the cube of 804³, which is 521,796,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method.
739,804,864 – 521,796,000 = 218,008,864
Therefore, 904³ is 218,008,864 larger than 804³.
If a cube with a side length of 904 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 104 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 904 cm is 739,804,864 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object). Cubing 904 means multiplying 904 by itself three times: 904 × 904 = 817,216, and then 817,216 × 904 = 739,804,864. The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube. Therefore, the volume of the cube is 739,804,864 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 903.5 using the cube of 904.
The cube of 903.5 is approximately 739,804,864.
First, identify the cube of 904,
The cube of 904 is 904³ = 739,804,864.
Since 903.5 is very close to 904, the cube of 903.5 will be almost the same as the cube of 904.
The cube of 903.5 is approximately 739,804,864 because the difference between 903.5 and 904 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 739,804,864.
