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 942.
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 942 can be written as 942³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 942 × 942 × 942.

In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as 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 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. 942³ = 942 × 942 × 942
Step 2: You get 835,896,888 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 942 is 835,896,888.
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 942 into two parts, as 900 and 42. Let a = 900 and b = 42, so a + b = 942
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 900³
3a²b = 3 × 900² × 42
3ab² = 3 × 900 × 42²
b³ = 42³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(900 + 42)³ = 900³ + 3 × 900² × 42 + 3 × 900 × 42² + 42³
942³ = 729,000,000 + 102,060,000 + 53,172,000 + 74,088
942³ = 835,896,888
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 942 is 835,896,888.
To find the cube of 942 using a calculator, input the number 942 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 942 × 942 × 942. This operation calculates the value of 942³, resulting in 835,896,888. 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 4 and 2
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 942³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 942 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 835,896,888.
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 942?
The cube of 942 is 835,896,888 and the cube root of 942 is approximately 9.834.
First, let’s find the cube of 942.
We know that cube of a number is calculated as x³ = y Where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number
So, we get 942³ = 835,896,888
Next, we must find the cube root of 942
We know that cube root of a number ‘x’ is calculated as ∛x = y Where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number
So, we get ∛942 ≈ 9.834
Hence, the cube of 942 is 835,896,888 and the cube root of 942 is approximately 9.834.
If the side length of the cube is 942 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 835,896,888 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 942 for the side length: V = 942³ = 835,896,888 cm³.
How much larger is 942³ than 900³?
942³ – 900³ = 106,896,888.
First find the cube of 942³, that is 835,896,888
Next, find the cube of 900³, which is 729,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 835,896,888 – 729,000,000 = 106,896,888
Therefore, 942³ is 106,896,888 larger than 900³.
If a cube with a side length of 942 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 42 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 942 cm is 835,896,888 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 942 means multiplying 942 by itself three times: 942 × 942 = 888,564, and then 888,564 × 942 = 835,896,888.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 835,896,888 cm³.
Estimate the cube 941.5 using the cube 942.
The cube of 941.5 is approximately 835,896,888.
First, identify the cube of 942, The cube of 942 is 942³ = 835,896,888.
Since 941.5 is very close to 942, the cube of 941.5 will be almost the same as the cube of 942.
The cube of 941.5 is approximately 835,896,888 because the difference between 941.5 and 942 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 835,896,888.
