How to Use Cube Root Tables for Quick and Accurate Calculations

A perfect cube is the result of multiplying the same integer three times. Repeating the number 4 times three makes 64 and as a result 64 is a perfect cube.  64 has a cube root of 4. If a number can be decomposed into a product of the same three numbers, it is said to be a perfect cube.


A complete cube is the product of three identical numbers. To see if the number (for example n) is a suitable cube,multiply it by three times and check if the resulting number is the same as 'n' if yes then it is a perfect cube


One, eight, twenty-seven, and sixty-four are examples of perfect cubes. A perfect square is one that can be made by multiplying two numbers together. Both positive and negative numbers can be used to make perfect cubes. Because it is the product of multiplying -4 three times, -64 is a perfect cube.


When we say a number has been cubed, we mean that it has been multiplied three times. The process of cubing a number  is reversed by its root. When the number 5 is cubed, for example, we obtain 55 5, which is 125. The cube  root of 5 is 125. This is because multiplying the number 5 three times gives the result of 125.It is the same as the square root symbol with an addition of '3' to indicate it is a cube root .The cube root of a number can be stated in exponent form as (number)13.


Cube root table

Cube root table is a table consisting of a list of numbers and their cube roots. Before we write the cube root table, it is very important for all of us to understand what is the perfect cube root chart and cube of a number. The cube of any real number can be defined as that number which is obtained by multiplying a number by itself twice or by raising its power to 3. At the same time, the cube root of any number is that number which when raised to the power 3 gives the answer as the number whose cube root is to be determined.

Cube root of a number can also be exponentially represented as the number raised to the power ⅓. If ‘x’ is any real number, then its cube root is represented as (x) or ∛x. Perfect cubes are the numbers that are obtained when natural numbers are multiplied by itself twice. All the perfect cube numbers have a square root equal to a natural number. The perfect cube root chart of the first 25 perfect cube numbers is represented in the table below. 


While it is very important to know the cube roots of the numbers, it is also very important to know the table of cubes from 1 to 50 (i.e. first 50 natural numbers) in order to make our Mathematical computations easy and efficient without a calculator. The table of cubes from 1 to 50 is given below for the reference of students and facilitators.

Steps To Find Out Perfect Cube Root 

Following the steps below, you can check if a number is a perfect cube:


Step 1: Starting with the smallest prime number, prime factorise the given number (2).

Step 2: Once the prime factorization is complete, group together all three identical factors.

Step 3: Repeat Step 3 for all sets of the same three factors in the group. The provided number is not a perfect cube if any factors are left over that do not fit into a group of three identical factors. The provided integer is otherwise a perfect cube.


Fun Fact About Cube Root 

  • Cube and cube roots are inverse mathematical operations.

  • The Cube of a cube root of a number or the cube root of a cube of a number is the number itself.


There is a method for determining whether or not greater integers are perfect cubes. To check, find the sum of the number's digits repeatedly and see if it's either 0, 1, 8, or 9. If it's any of these, it could be a perfect cube, although that isn't always the case.


Perfect Cube Formula 

The perfect cube formula is used to determine whether or not a number is a perfect cube. Let's say we have a number, x, that equals yyy. Every composite number can be written as the product of the powers of its prime elements, according to the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. The number is considered to be a perfect cube if the power of all prime factors is a multiple of three.


From 1 to 50, this is a list of perfect cubes.


In the table below, the perfect cubes of integers 1 to 50 are presented. Every integer is multiplied three times by itself to get the ideal cubes.

Conclusion

This is how we can easily calculate perfect cube roots of different numbers. Focus on the concept of perfect cube roots and understand how they are determined. Follow the examples given in the tables and charts here to develop your conceptual foundation. 

FAQs on Cube Root Table: Complete Chart from 1 to 50

1. What is a perfect cube in mathematics?

A perfect cube is a number that is the product of three identical integers. In other words, if a number 'x' can be expressed as y × y × y (or y³), where 'y' is an integer, then 'x' is considered a perfect cube. For example, 64 is a perfect cube because it is the result of 4 × 4 × 4. The integer 'y' in this case, which is 4, is known as the cube root of 'x'.

2. How is the cube root of a number represented, for example, the cube root of 27?

The cube root of a number, let's say 'x', is represented using the radical symbol with a small 3, which looks like this: ³√x. This symbol essentially asks, "What number, when multiplied by itself three times, results in x?". For your example, the cube root of 27 is written as ³√27, and its value is 3, because 3 × 3 × 3 = 27.

3. What is the prime factorisation method for finding a perfect cube root, as per the CBSE syllabus?

The prime factorisation method is a reliable technique for finding the cube root of a perfect cube. The process involves these steps:

  • First, resolve the given number into its prime factors.
  • Next, arrange these prime factors into identical groups of three, known as triplets.
  • If every factor successfully forms a triplet with no factors left over, the number is confirmed to be a perfect cube.
  • Finally, select one factor from each triplet and multiply them together. The resulting product is the cube root. For ³√216, the prime factors are 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3. This forms two triplets: (2×2×2) and (3×3×3). Taking one factor from each triplet (2 and 3) gives 2 × 3 = 6.

4. What are the perfect cubes for the numbers 1 to 10?

Recognising the first few perfect cubes is very helpful. Here are the perfect cubes for the integers from 1 to 10:

  • 1³ = 1
  • 2³ = 8
  • 3³ = 27
  • 4³ = 64
  • 5³ = 125
  • 6³ = 216
  • 7³ = 343
  • 8³ = 512
  • 9³ = 729
  • 10³ = 1000

5. How can you determine if a number is a perfect cube without using a calculator?

To check if a number is a perfect cube, you should use the prime factorisation method. Break the number down into its prime factors. After you have the list of prime factors, examine them to see if they can all be grouped into identical sets of three. If every single prime factor is part of a triplet, the number is a perfect cube. If even one factor is left over or does not complete a triplet, the number is not a perfect cube.

6. What is the fundamental difference between finding a square root and a cube root?

The core difference lies in the number of times the root is multiplied by itself.

  • A square root is a number that, when multiplied by itself just once (e.g., y × y), gives the original number.
  • A cube root is a number that must be multiplied by itself twice (e.g., y × y × y) to give the original number.
Another critical difference is their behaviour with negative numbers. A negative number does not have a real square root, but it always has a real cube root. For instance, ³√(-8) is -2.

7. Why is understanding perfect cube roots important in real-world applications like geometry?

Understanding cube roots is essential in geometry, particularly when dealing with the volume of three-dimensional objects like cubes. The volume of a cube is found by cubing its side length (V = s³). Conversely, if you are given the volume of a perfect cube and need to find the length of its side, you must calculate the cube root of the volume (s = ³√V). This principle is vital in fields such as engineering and architecture for calculating object dimensions from a known volume.
