A number we multiply by itself three times to get the original number is its cube root. It has various uses in real life, such as finding the volume of cube-shaped objects and designing structures. We will now find the cube root of 48228544 and explain the methods used.
We have learned the definition of the cube root. Now, let’s learn how it is represented using a symbol and exponent. The symbol we use to express the cube root is the radical sign (∛), and the exponent we use is ⅓.
In exponential form, ∛48228544 is written as 48228544(1/3). The cube root is just the opposite operation of finding the cube of a number. For example: Assume ‘y’ as the cube root of 48228544, then y3 can be 48228544. Since 48228544 is a perfect cube, we find its cube root exactly as 364.
Finding the cube root of a number is to identify the number that must be multiplied three times resulting in the target number. Now, we will go through the different ways to find the cube root of 48228544. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
To find the cube root of a perfect cube like 48228544, we can use the prime factorization method.
Let's find the cube root of 48228544 using the prime factorization method.
First, find the prime factors of 48228544:
48228544 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 13 × 13 × 13
Group the prime factors in triples: (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (13 × 13 × 13)
This shows that the cube root of 48228544 is the product of one factor from each triplet, which is: 2 × 2 × 2 × 13 = 364
The cube root of 48228544 is 364.
Finding the cube root of a number without any errors can be a difficult task for students. This happens for many reasons. Here are a few mistakes students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped storage box that has a total volume of 48228544 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the box equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛48228544 = 364 cm
To find the side of the cube, we need to find the cube root of the given volume.
Therefore, the side length of the cube is 364 cm.
A company manufactures 48228544 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 12345678 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 35882866 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount:
48228544 - 12345678 = 35882866 cubic meters.
A tank holds 48228544 liters of water. Another tank holds a volume of 4000000 liters. What would be the total volume if the tanks are combined?
The total volume of the combined tanks is 52228544 liters.
Let’s add the volume of both tanks: 48228544 + 4000000 = 52228544 liters.
When the cube root of 48228544 is multiplied by 5, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
5 × 364 = 1820
The cube of 1820 = 6,028,880,800
When we multiply the cube root of 48228544 by 5, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.
Find ∛(123456 + 48105188).
∛(123456 + 48105188) = ∛48228644 ≈ 364.00055
As shown in the question ∛(123456 + 48105188), we add them to get 48228644.
Then we use this step: ∛48228644 ≈ 364.00055 to get the answer.
