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 cubes of 947.
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 947 can be written as 947³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 947 × 947 × 947.

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 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. 947³ = 947 × 947 × 947
Step 2: You get 849,268,123 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 947 is 849,268,123.
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 947 into two parts, as 900 and 47. Let a = 900 and b = 47, so a + b = 947
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 900³
3a²b = 3 × 900² × 47
3ab² = 3 × 900 × 47²
b³ = 47³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(900 + 47)³ = 900³ + 3 × 900² × 47 + 3 × 900 × 47² + 47³
947³ = 729,000,000 + 114,030,000 + 59,673 + 103,823
947³ = 849,268,123
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 947 is 849,268,123.
To find the cube of 947 using a calculator, input the number 947 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 947 × 947 × 947. This operation calculates the value of 947³, resulting in 849,268,123. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 9, 4, and 7
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 947³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 947 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 849,268,123.

What is the cube and cube root of 947?
The cube of 947 is 849,268,123 and the cube root of 947 is approximately 9.782.
First, let’s find the cube of 947.
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 947³ = 849,268,123
Next, we must find the cube root of 947
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 ∛947 ≈ 9.782
Hence the cube of 947 is 849,268,123 and the cube root of 947 is approximately 9.782.
If the side length of the cube is 947 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 849,268,123 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 947 for the side length: V = 947³ = 849,268,123 cm³.
How much larger is 947³ than 900³?
947³ – 900³ = 120,268,123.
First find the cube of 947, that is 849,268,123
Next, find the cube of 900, which is 729,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 849,268,123 – 729,000,000 = 120,268,123
Therefore, 947³ is 120,268,123 larger than 900³.
If a cube with a side length of 947 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 47 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 947 cm is 849,268,123 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 947 means multiplying 947 by itself three times: 947 × 947 = 896,809, and then 896,809 × 947 = 849,268,123.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 849,268,123 cm³.
Estimate the cube 946.9 using the cube 947.
The cube of 946.9 is approximately 849,268,123.
First, identify the cube of 947, The cube of 947 is 947³ = 849,268,123.
Since 946.9 is only a tiny bit less than 947, the cube of 946.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 947.
The cube of 946.9 is approximately 849,268,123 because the difference between 946.9 and 947 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 849,268,123.
