How to cube

Construction of number in degree means its repeated multiplication by itself. It is accepted to call number the basis, and the number of times which it is necessary to make multiplication operation - an exponent. If the exponent is equal three, such sedate operation has own name - "construction in a cube".

Instruction

1. Multiply number by yourself twice to cube it. For many numbers (degree bases) it is easy to do such operation in mind, and in other cases it is possible to increase, for example, in a column or to use the calculator. Time you have an access to the computer, no additional tool for calculations is required. If in your computer the Windows operating system, the calculator is installed you can find, having opened the main menu on the Start-up button.

2. Enter number which is the degree basis - it can be done or clicking the corresponding buttons in the interface on the screen, or pressing keys on the keyboard. Then press a key (or click the button) with an asterisk is an operation of multiplication. It is necessary to enter nothing any more, just press a key with an equal-sign twice, and the calculator will increase number by itself twice, that is will cube it. All this will occur in the standard interface of the calculator which is used by default. There is also other way of construction in a cube with use of other interface of the same program calculator.

3. Open the section "Look" in the menu and select in it the item "Scientific" or "Engineering" (depending on the used version of OS). The interface of the calculator will change, and at new option of its registration there will be a separate button for construction of the entered number in a cube - on it x^3 symbols are written. That is in this case it is possible for you after introduction of the basis just to click this button.

4. If it is more convenient to you to use Internet search engines, than calculators, it is possible to use for construction in a cube the Google search engine. This option is much simpler any other - just enter the corresponding inquiry into the only field on the homepage of the website. For example, for construction in number 3.14 cube the search query should be formulated so: "3.14 cubed". Pay attention that the point as it is accepted in the majority of the English-speaking countries, but not a comma has to be a decimal divider.
