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 948.
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 948 can be written as 948³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 948 × 948 × 948.

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. 948³ = 948 × 948 × 948
Step 2: You get 851,841,792 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 948 is 851,841,792.
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 948 into two parts. Let a = 900 and b = 48, so a + b = 948
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term
a³ = 900³
3a²b = 3 × 900² × 48
3ab² = 3 × 900 × 48²
b³ = 48³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:
(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(900 + 48)³ = 900³ + 3 × 900² × 48 + 3 × 900 × 48² + 48³
948³ = 729,000,000 + 116,640,000 + 62,208,000 + 110,592
948³ = 851,841,792
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 948 is 851,841,792.
To find the cube of 948 using a calculator, input the number 948 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 948 × 948 × 948. This operation calculates the value of 948³, resulting in 851,841,792. 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 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 948³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 948 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 851,841,792.

What is the cube and cube root of 948?
The cube of 948 is 851,841,792 and the cube root of 948 is approximately 9.821.
First, let’s find the cube of 948.
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 948³ = 851,841,792
Next, we must find the cube root of 948
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 ∛948 ≈ 9.821
Hence the cube of 948 is 851,841,792 and the cube root of 948 is approximately 9.821.
If the side length of the cube is 948 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 851,841,792 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 948 for the side length: V = 948³ = 851,841,792 cm³.
How much larger is 948³ than 900³?
948³ – 900³ = 122,841,792.
First find the cube of 948³, that is 851,841,792
Next, find the cube of 900³, which is 729,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 851,841,792 – 729,000,000 = 122,841,792
Therefore, the 948³ is 122,841,792 larger than 900³.
If a cube with a side length of 948 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 50 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 948 cm is 851,841,792 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 948 means multiplying 948 by itself three times: 948 × 948 = 898,704, and then 898,704 × 948 = 851,841,792.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 851,841,792 cm³.
Estimate the cube 947.9 using the cube 948.
The cube of 947.9 is approximately 851,841,792.
First, identify the cube of 948, The cube of 948 is 948³ = 851,841,792.
Since 947.9 is only a tiny bit less than 948, the cube of 947.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 948.
The cube of 947.9 is approximately 851,841,792 because the difference between 947.9 and 948 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 851,841,792.
