Cube and cube root

Cube
Cube is very essential in our daily life. All objects in the world
are three dimensional. It means that everything in this world
has length, breadth and height. So we can say 3-D figures are
solid figures. A cube is a solid figure which has its entire sides
equal in measurements. The measurements of quantity in an
object or the volume or capacity of an object is measured by
cubic measurements such as cubic centimeter or cubic meter.
For example Volume= Length X Breadth X Height
= 1cm X 1cm X 1cm
= 1 cubic centimeter
= cm3
Similarly 1m X 1m X 1m = m3 = 1 cubic meter
We know that z2= z X z.
And zn= z X z X z X z n times, So z3= z X z X z
And z3 is called as z to the power 3 or z raise to 3 or z cubed.
For example:
13= 1 X 1 X 1= 1
23= 2 X 2 X 2= 8
(-5)3= -5 X -5 X -5= -125
Prime factorization of perfect cube:
As we know that a perfect cube or a cube number obtained by
multiplying a number by itself three times.
For example find out Prime factorization of 123.
We know 12= 2 X 2 X 3
So 123=12X12X12=1728
=2X2X3X2X2X3X2X2X3
=23X23X33
As explanation given below:
Note: Each prime factor of a number appears three times in the
prime factorization of cube of the number.
Prime factorization to make Perfect cube:
We can also check with the help of prime factorization whether
a number is perfect cube or not? How we can make that
number as perfect cube?
For example: Find out 243 is a perfect cube or not? If it is not a
perfect cube what we need to do to make it perfect cube?
Solution:
Find out the prime factor of 243
243= 3X3X3X3X3
=33X32
This is not a perfect square because here once 3 is repeated
three times after that it is repeated two times. As explained
below:
So if we multiply on both side with 3 then this number became
perfect cube of 9
Like 243X3= 33X32X3
729= 33X33
729=93
Explaination:
Shortcut to find out the cube of any number
with an example:
Step 1: Take ten place number as a and unit place number as b

Step 2: Now use formula (a+b)3=a3+3a2b+3ab2+b3


Step 3: now use b3 to find out the last digit of any number cube if you
will get two digit number then ten place number add to 3ab2

Step 4: solve 3ab2 for ten place digit and write down if again you will
get two digit number then unit place number write down as ten place
of result and ten place number add to the 3a2b.

Step 5: solve 3a2b for ten place digit and write down if again you will
get two digit number then unit place number write down as hundred
place of result and ten place number add to the a3.
Step 6: now solve a3 and write down as thousand place.

Cube roots
As we know that 43=64. So we can say that 64 is a cube of 4.
Otherwise 4 is a cube root 64. It is written as ten as
Q1: find out the cube root of 3375.
Solution: Prime factors of 3375=5X5X5X3X3X3
= 53X33
=5X3
=15
