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 4741632 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, ∛4741632 is written as 4741632(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 4741632, then y³ can be 4741632. Since the cube root of 4741632 is an exact value, it can be written as 168.
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 4741632. The common methods we follow to find the cube root are given below:
To find the cube root of a perfect cube number like 4741632, we can use the prime factorization method.
Let's find the cube root of 4741632 using the prime factorization method.
First, we find the prime factors: 4741632 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 13 × 13 × 13
Group the prime factors into triples: (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (3 × 3 × 3) × (13 × 13 × 13)
Take one factor from each group: 2 × 2 × 3 × 13 = 168
Thus, the cube root of 4741632 is exactly 168.
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 the students commonly make and the ways to avoid them:
Imagine you have a cube-shaped toy that has a total volume of 4741632 cubic centimeters. Find the length of one side of the cube equal to its cube root.
Side of the cube = ∛4741632 = 168 units
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 exactly 168 units.
A company manufactures 4741632 cubic meters of material. Calculate the amount of material left after using 1632 cubic meters.
The amount of material left is 4740000 cubic meters.
To find the remaining material, we need to subtract the used material from the total amount: 4741632 - 1632 = 4740000 cubic meters.
A bottle holds 4741632 cubic meters of volume. Another bottle holds a volume of 8 cubic meters. What would be the total volume if the bottles are combined?
The total volume of the combined bottles is 4741640 cubic meters.
Explanation: Let’s add the volume of both bottles: 4741632 + 8 = 4741640 cubic meters.
When the cube root of 4741632 is multiplied by 2, calculate the resultant value. How will this affect the cube of the new value?
2 × 168 = 336 The cube of 336 = 3796416
When we multiply the cube root of 4741632 by 2, it results in a significant increase in the volume because the cube increases exponentially.
Find ∛(4741632 + 8).
∛(4741632 + 8) = ∛4741640 ≈ 168.002
As shown in the question ∛(4741632 + 8), we can simplify that by adding them. So, 4741632 + 8 = 4741640. Then we use this step: ∛4741640 ≈ 168.002 to get the answer.
