Step-by-Step: 17 Cubed

Cubing a number means multiplying it by itself three times. To compute 17³:

1. Multiply 17 by itself (squaring):
   17 × 17 = 289
2. Multiply the result by 17 again:
   289 × 17 = 4,913

17³ = 4,913

Formula

The cube of a number n is defined as:

n³ = n × n × n

Equivalently, in exponent notation: n³ (read as "n cubed" or "n to the third power").

Geometrically, n³ represents the volume of a cube with edge length n — that's where the name comes from.

How to Cube a Number

1. Write the number you want to cube.
2. Square it first (multiply by itself once): n × n = n².
3. Multiply the result by n one more time: n² × n = n³.
4. If n is negative, parenthesize when writing each factor and remember the result is negative.

Inverse Operation: Cube Root

Since 17³ = 4,913, the cube root reverses this: ∛4913 = 17.
