Cube (algebra) the last two digits, "any" pair of digits with the last digit odd can be a perfect cube. With even cubes, there is considerable restriction, for only 00, 2, 4, 6 and 8 can be the last two digits of a perfect cube (where stands for any odd digit and for any even digit). Some cube numbers are also square numbers; for example, 64 is a square number and a cube number . This happens if and only if the number is a perfect sixth power (in this case 2). The last digits of each 3rd power are: It is,
Cube (algebra) Cube (algebra) In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number is its third power: the result of the number multiplied by itself twice: It is also the number multiplied by its square: This is also the volume formula for a geometric cube with sides of length , giving rise to the name. The inverse operation of finding a number whose cube is is called extracting the cube root of . It determines the side of the cube of a given volume. It is also raised to the one-third power. Both cube and cube root are odd functions: The cube
