When a number is multiplied by itself thrice, the resultant number is called the cube of a number. Cubing is used in while comparing sizes of objects or things with cubic measurements. In this topic, we shall learn about cubes of 368.
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 368 can be written as 368³, which is the exponential form.
Or it can also be written in arithmetic form as, 368 × 368 × 368.
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. 368³ = 368 × 368 × 368
Step 2: You get 49,835,712 as the answer. Hence, the cube of 368 is 49,835,712.
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 368 into two parts, as needed. Let a = 360 and b = 8, so a + b = 368
Step 2: Now, apply the formula (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³
Step 3: Calculate each term a³ = 360³ 3a²b = 3 × 360² × 8 3ab² = 3 × 360 × 8² b³ = 8³
Step 4: Add all the terms together: (a + b)³ = a³ + 3a²b + 3ab² + b³ (360 + 8)³ = 360³ + 3 × 360² × 8 + 3 × 360 × 8² + 8³ 368³ = 46,656,000 + 3,110,400 + 69,120 + 512 368³ = 49,835,712
Step 5: Hence, the cube of 368 is 49,835,712.
To find the cube of 368 using a calculator, input the number 368 and use the cube function (if available) or multiply 368 × 368 × 368. This operation calculates the value of 368³, resulting in 49,835,712. It’s a quick way to determine the cube without manual computation.
Step 1: Ensure the calculator is functioning properly.
Step 2: Press 3 followed by 6 and 8
Step 3: If the calculator has a cube function, press it to calculate 368³.
Step 4: If there is no cube function on the calculator, simply multiply 368 three times manually.
Step 5: The calculator will display 49,835,712.
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 368?
The cube of 368 is 49,835,712 and the cube root of 368 is 7.190.
First, let’s find the cube of 368.
We know that 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 368³ = 49,835,712 Next, we must find the cube root of 368.
We know that 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 ∛368 ≈ 7.190
Hence the cube of 368 is 49,835,712 and the cube root of 368 is approximately 7.190.
If the side length of the cube is 368 cm, what is the volume?
The volume is 49,835,712 cm³.
Use the volume formula for a cube V = Side³.
Substitute 368 for the side length: V = 368³ = 49,835,712 cm³.
How much larger is 368³ than 360³?
368³ – 360³ = 3,179,712.
First find the cube of 368³, that is 49,835,712
Next, find the cube of 360³, which is 46,656,000
Now, find the difference between them using the subtraction method. 49,835,712 – 46,656,000 = 3,179,712
Therefore, 368³ is 3,179,712 larger than 360³.
If a cube with a side length of 368 cm is compared to a cube with a side length of 8 cm, how much larger is the volume of the larger cube?
The volume of the cube with a side length of 368 cm is 49,835,712 cm³
To find its volume, we multiply the side length by itself three times (since it’s a 3-dimensional object).
Cubing 368 means multiplying 368 by itself three times: 368 × 368 = 135,424, and then 135,424 × 368 = 49,835,712.
The unit of volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), because we are calculating the space inside the cube.
Therefore, the volume of the cube is 49,835,712 cm³.
Estimate the cube of 367.9 using the cube of 368.
The cube of 367.9 is approximately 49,835,712.
First, identify the cube of 368,
The cube of 368 is 368³ = 49,835,712.
Since 367.9 is only a tiny bit less than 368, the cube of 367.9 will be almost the same as the cube of 368.
The cube of 367.9 is approximately 49,835,712 because the difference between 367.9 and 368 is very small.
So, we can approximate the value as 49,835,712.
