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 the cube of 112.
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 112 can be written as 112³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as 112 × 112 × 112.
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 kids 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 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. 112³ = 112 × 112 × 112
Step 2: You get 1,405,224 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 112 is 1,405,224.
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 112 into two parts, such as 100 and 12. Let a = 100 and b = 12, so a + b = 112
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 100³ 3a²b = 3 × 100² × 12 3ab² = 3 × 100 × 12² b³ = 12³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (100 + 12)³ = 100³ + 3 × 100² × 12 + 3 × 100 × 12² + 12³ 112³ = 1,000,000 + 360,000 + 43,200 + 1,728 112³ = 1,405,224
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 112 is 1,405,224.
To find the cube of 112 using a calculator, input the number 112 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 112 × 112 × 112. This operation calculates the value of 112³, resulting in 1,405,224. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 1 followed by 1 and then 2
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 112³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 112 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 1,405,224.
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 112?
The cube of 112 is 1,405,224 and the cube root of 112 is approximately 4.820.
First, let’s find the cube of 112.
We know that cube of a number is such that x³ = y, where x is the given number, and y is the cubed value of that number. So, 112³ = 1,405,224.
Next, we must find the cube root of 112. We know that cube root of a number ‘x’ is such that ∛x = y, where ‘x’ is the given number, and y is the cube root value of the number.
So, ∛112 ≈ 4.820.
Hence the cube of 112 is 1,405,224 and the cube root of 112 is approximately 4.820.
If the side length of the cube is 112 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 1,405,224 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 112 for the side length: V = 112³ = 1,405,224 cm³.
How much larger is 112³ than 100³?
112³ – 100³ = 405,224.
First find the cube of 112, which is 1,405,224.
Next, find the cube of 100, which is 1,000,000.
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 1,405,224 – 1,000,000 = 405,224.
Therefore, 112³ is 405,224 larger than 100³.
If a cube with a side length of 112 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 10 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 112 cm is 1,405,224 cm³.
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 112 means multiplying 112 by itself three times: 112 × 112 = 12,544, and then 12,544 × 112 = 1,405,224.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 1,405,224 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 111.9 using the cube of 112.
The cube of 111.9 is approximately 1,405,224.
First, identify the cube of 112,
The cube of 112 is 112³ = 1,405,224.
Since 111.9 is only a tiny bit less than 112, the cube of 111.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 112.
The cube of 111.9 is approximately 1,405,224 because the difference between 111.9 and 112 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 1,405,224.
