    Class 8 Mathematics
    Chapter 7 – Cubes and Cube Root
    Cubes:
    Cube in general terms is a 3 − dimensional solid figure with all its sides equal.
    Dice, we use to play ludo is a very common example of a cube. Suppose, we
    have a cube with side length 1 unit, and if we find the number of such cubes
    required to build another cube of side lengths 2, 3, 4 or 5 units, then we will get
    the numbers as 8, 27, 625 , etc. It can be noticed that the numbers we obtained
    above can also be found out by multiplying the length of lengths of sides thrice
    to itself. For example, 2  2  2 = 8 , 3  3  3 = 27 and so on. These are called the
    perfect cubes or the cube numbers as they are obtained by multiplying a
    natural number thrice.

    Hardy – Ramanujan numbers:


    ● Numbers such as 1729, 4104 and 13832 can be written as sum of cubes
    of two numbers in two different ways as can be seen below
    1729 = 1728 + 1 = 123 + 13
    1729 = 1000 + 729 = 103 + 93

    Patterns in cubes of numbers:


    ● Adding consecutive odd numbers yields perfect cubes. For example, 1 is
    the first perfect cube, then adding the next two odd numbers will give
    23 (3 + 5 = 8) and again adding next three consecutive odd numbers will
    yield 33 (7 + 9 + 11 = 27 ) and so on.
    ● The prime factors obtained when we factorize a number will appear thrice
    when we factorize the cube of the same number. For example, the factors
    of 6 are 2  3 , while the factors of 63 or 216 is
    2  2  2  3  3  3 = 23  33 .

    Cube roots:
    If we are given that b is the cube of a number a , then we can say that a is the
    1
    cube root of b . Mathematically, it is represented as a = b = 3 b , where the
    3

    symbol 3 denotes cube-root.

    Cube roots are generally determined by the prime factorisation method. For
    example, cube root of the number 8000 can be determined in following two
    steps;
    (i) Prime factorisation the given number;
    8000 = 2  2  2  2  2  2  5  5  5 = 23  23  53

    (ii) Applying cube root;


    3
    8000 = 2  2  5 = 20
    If after prime factorisation, we fail to group the factors in a bunch of
    three, then the given number is not a perfect cube. If, we already know
    that a number is a perfect cube, then we can find its cube root in
    following steps:
    (i) Let is take the number 857375 which is a perfect cube and finds its cube
    root. Start by making groups of three digits from the rightmost digit. So,
    the first group will be 375 and the second group will be 857 .
    First group gives us the unit’s digit of the cube root. Like here, first group
    375 ends with 5 which is possible only when the unit place of cube root
    also has 5 , so we get 5 at our unit’s place.

    (ii) Now, we will find out that between which two perfect cubes, the second
    group lies. Here, we have 729  857  1000 , so take the smaller number
    and its cube root will be at the ten’s place, which is 9 .So, the cube root of
    857375 is 95 .

    Properties of cubes:
    ● Cubes of even and odd numbers are even and odd respectively.
    ● The square of the sum of the first n natural numbers are equal to the sum
    of their cubes.
    ● Cubes of numbers ending with 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 ends with
    0,1, 8, 7, 4, 5, 6, 3, 2 and 9 respectively.
