                Property 4

                The cube of the numbers ending with digit 2 ends with digit 8 at its ones place and its vice versa.
                                     3
                                                                                3
                For example,  (12)  = 12 × 12 × 12 = 1728,                  (18)  = 18 × 18 × 18 = 5832
                Property 5
                The cube of the numbers ending with digit 3 ends with digit 7 at its ones place and its vice versa.

                                                                                3
                                     3
                For example,  (13)  = 13 × 13 × 13 = 2197,                  (17)  = 17 × 17 × 17 = 4913
                Example 6: Find the digit in the ones place of the cube of each of the following numbers.
                           (a)  32                   (b)  15               (c)  1026

                Solution: (a)  Ones digit of 32 = 2                              Alternative Method:
                               And, the cube of 2 = 2  = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8           Last digit of 32 is 2, so by the property
                                                      3
                               So, the digit at ones place of cube of 32 is 8.   of cube numbers the digit at the ones
                                                                                 place of cube of 32 is 8.

                           (b)  Ones digit of 15 = 5                             Alternative Method:
                                                      3
                               And, the cube of 5 = 5  = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125         Last digit of 15 is 5, so by the property
                               So, the digit at ones place of cube of 15 is 5.   of cube numbers the digit at the ones
                                                                                 place of cube of 55 is 5.
                           (c)  Ones digit of 1026 = 6                           Alternative Method:
                               And, the cube of 6 = 6  = 6 × 6 × 6 = 216         Last digit of 1026 is 6, so by the
                                                      3
                               So, the digit at ones place of cube of 1026 is 6. property of cube numbers the digit
                                                                                 at the ones place of cube of 1026 is 6.

                Example 7: Find the number of zeros in the cube of each of the following numbers without actual
                multiplication.
                           (a)  50                   (b)  200              (c)  1000

                Solution: (a)  For 50, we have one zero, so the number of zeros in the cube of 50 will be thrice of
                               one, i.e., 000 (3 zeros).

                           (b)  For 200, we have two zeros, so the number of

                Some Interesting Patterns of Cube Numbers


                Just like square numbers, there are some interesting patterns occurs in cube numbers too.
                  1.  Adding consecutive odd numbers
                      Observe the following pattern of sum of odd numbers:
                                                                       3
                                                               1 = 1 = 1                     Think and Answer
                                                                        3

                                                           3 + 5 = 8 = 2
                                                      7 + 9 + 11 = 27 = 3 3              How many consecutive odd
                                               13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 64 = 4 3              numbers will be needed to obtain
                                                                                                     3
                                                                                         the sum as 10 ?
                                          21 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29 = 125 = 5 3

                                                                  153                               Cubes and Cube Roots
