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 984.
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 984 can be written as 984³, which is the exponential form. Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 984 × 984 × 984.

In order to check whether a number is a cube number or not, we can use the following three methods, such as the multiplication method, a factor formula (a³), or by using a calculator. These three methods will help students to cube 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. 984³ = 984 x 984 x 984
Step 2: You get 952,956,032 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 984 is 952,956,032.
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 984 into two parts. Let a = 900 and b = 84, so a + b = 984
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 900³
3a²b = 3 x 900² x 84
3ab² = 3 x 900 x 84²
b³ = 84³
Step 4: Add all the terms together:(a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
(900 + 84)³ = 900³ + 3 x 900² x 84 + 3 x 900 x 84² + 84³
984³ = 729,000,000 + 204,120,000 + 19,051,200 + 592,704
984³ = 952,956,032
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 984 is 952,956,032.
To find the cube of 984 using a calculator, input the number 984 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 984 × 984 × 984. This operation calculates the value of 984³, resulting in 952,956,032. 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 8 and 4
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 984³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 984 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 952,956,032.

What is the cube and cube root of 984?
The cube of 984 is 952,956,032 and the cube root of 984 is approximately 9.949.
First, let’s find the cube of 984.
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 984³ = 952,956,032
Next, we must find the cube root of 984
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 ∛984 ≈ 9.949
Hence the cube of 984 is 952,956,032 and the cube root of 984 is approximately 9.949.
If the side length of the cube is 984 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 952,956,032 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 984 for the side length: V = 984³ = 952,956,032 cm³.
How much larger is 984³ than 900³?
984³ – 900³ = 223,956,032.
First, find the cube of 984³, that is 952,956,032
Next, find the cube of 900³, which is 729,000,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 952,956,032 – 729,000,000 = 223,956,032
Therefore, 984³ is 223,956,032 larger than 900³.
If a cube with a side length of 984 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 84 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 984 cm is 952,956,032 cm³ larger.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 984 means multiplying 984 by itself three times: 984 × 984 = 968,256, and then 968,256 × 984 = 952,956,032.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 952,956,032 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 983.9 using the cube of 984.
The cube of 983.9 is approximately 952,956,032.
First, identify the cube of 984, The cube of 984 is 984³ = 952,956,032.
Since 983.9 is only a tiny bit less than 984, the cube of 983.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 984.
The cube of 983.9 is approximately 952,956,032 because the difference between 983.9 and 984 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 952,956,032.
