Introduction: Cube Aur Cube Root Kya Hain?
Namaste dosto! Aaj ham Cube (เคเคจ) aur Cube Root (เคเคจเคฎूเคฒ) padhenge. Square & square root ke baad ye naturally aane wala topic hai.
Cube Kya Hai?
๐น Cube = Number ko teen baar multiply karna
n³ = n × n × n
n³ = n × n × n
Examples:
2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
5³ = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
10³ = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
2³ = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8
5³ = 5 × 5 × 5 = 125
10³ = 10 × 10 × 10 = 1000
Cube Root Kya Hai?
๐น Cube Root = Cube ka ulta process
Agar a³ = b, toh ∛b = a
Agar a³ = b, toh ∛b = a
Examples:
∛8 = 2 (kyunki 2³ = 8)
∛125 = 5 (kyunki 5³ = 125)
∛1000 = 10 (kyunki 10³ = 1000)
∛8 = 2 (kyunki 2³ = 8)
∛125 = 5 (kyunki 5³ = 125)
∛1000 = 10 (kyunki 10³ = 1000)
๐ฏ Exam Importance: SSC CGL me:
- Perfect cube identify karna
- Cube root calculate karna
- Unit digit based questions (very common!)
- Simplification problems
- Volume calculations (Mensuration me)
Perfect Cubes (เคชूเคฐ्เคฃ เคเคจ)
Perfect Cube = Kisi integer ka cube
Examples: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216...
Examples: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216...
1 Se 30 Tak Ka Cubes Table (Zaroori!)

Unit Digit Pattern (Super Important!) MOST ASKED
Cube me unit digit ka pattern unique aur easy hai:
| Number Ka Unit Digit | Cube Ka Unit Digit |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 8 |
| 3 | 7 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 |
| 7 | 3 |
| 8 | 2 |
| 9 | 9 |
๐ก Super Trick: Yaad rakhne ka tarika:
• 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 → Same unit digit (0→0, 1→1, 4→4...)
• 2 ↔ 8 (swap)
• 3 ↔ 7 (swap)
• 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 → Same unit digit (0→0, 1→1, 4→4...)
• 2 ↔ 8 (swap)
• 3 ↔ 7 (swap)
Example 1: 73³ ka unit digit kya hoga?
73 ka unit digit = 3
3³ = 27 (unit digit = 7)
Answer: 7 ✓
73 ka unit digit = 3
3³ = 27 (unit digit = 7)
Answer: 7 ✓
Example 2: 248³ ka unit digit?
Unit digit = 8
8³ = 512 (unit digit = 2)
Answer: 2 ✓
Unit digit = 8
8³ = 512 (unit digit = 2)
Answer: 2 ✓
Cube Ke Important Properties
Property 1: Negative Numbers
(-n)³ = -n³ (Negative rahega!)
(-3)³ = -27 ✓ (not +27)
(-5)³ = -125 ✓
(-5)³ = -125 ✓
Difference from square: Square me negative positive ban jata hai, lekin cube me negative hi rahta hai.
Property 2: Sum of Cubes Formula
a³ + b³ = (a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
Example: 3³ + 4³ = ?
Method 1: 27 + 64 = 91
Method 2: (3+4)(9-12+16) = 7 × 13 = 91 ✓
Method 1: 27 + 64 = 91
Method 2: (3+4)(9-12+16) = 7 × 13 = 91 ✓
Property 3: Difference of Cubes
a³ - b³ = (a - b)(a² + ab + b²)
Property 4: Sum of First n Natural Numbers' Cubes
1³ + 2³ + 3³ + ... + n³ = [n(n+1)/2]²
Example: 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ = ?
Formula: [4×5/2]² = [10]² = 100 ✓
Verification: 1+8+27+64 = 100 ✓
Formula: [4×5/2]² = [10]² = 100 ✓
Verification: 1+8+27+64 = 100 ✓
Property 5: Three Cube Formula
(a+b)³ = a³ + b³ + 3ab(a+b)
(a-b)³ = a³ - b³ - 3ab(a-b)
(a-b)³ = a³ - b³ - 3ab(a-b)
Cube Root Nikalne Ke Methods
Method 1: Prime Factorization EASY
Example: ∛1728 nikalo
Step 1: Prime factorization
1728 = 2⁶ × 3³
Step 2: Powers ko 3 se divide karo
∛1728 = 2⁶/³ × 3³/³
= 2² × 3¹
= 4 × 3
= 12 ✓
Step 1: Prime factorization
1728 = 2⁶ × 3³
Step 2: Powers ko 3 se divide karo
∛1728 = 2⁶/³ × 3³/³
= 2² × 3¹
= 4 × 3
= 12 ✓
๐ก Note: Sabhi prime factors ki powers 3 ka multiple honi chahiye perfect cube ke liye.
Method 2: Unit Digit Method (Fast!) EXAM SPECIAL
Ye method perfect cubes ke liye super fast hai:

Cube table se: 6³ = 216 (unit = 6)
Toh cube root ka unit digit = 6 ✓
Step 3: First group (17) dekho
2³ = 8 < 17 < 27 = 3³
Toh tens digit = 2
Answer: ∛17576 = 26 ✓
Step 1: Last 3 digits alag karo: 17 | 576
Step 2: Unit digit dekho: 576 ka unit = 6
Cube table se: 6³ = 216 (unit = 6)
Toh cube root ka unit digit = 6 ✓
Step 3: First group (17) dekho
2³ = 8 < 17 < 27 = 3³
Toh tens digit = 2
Answer: ∛17576 = 26 ✓
Example 2: ∛9261
Step 1: 9 | 261
Step 2: Unit digit of 261 = 1
1³ = 1, toh unit = 1 ✓
Step 3: 2³ = 8 < 9 < 27 = 3³
Tens digit = 2
Answer: ∛9261 = 21 ✓
Step 1: 9 | 261
Step 2: Unit digit of 261 = 1
1³ = 1, toh unit = 1 ✓
Step 3: 2³ = 8 < 9 < 27 = 3³
Tens digit = 2
Answer: ∛9261 = 21 ✓
๐ Speed Trick: Is method se 5 seconds me answer nikal sakte ho!

Steps summary:
- Last 3 digits ke unit digit se cube root ka unit digit pata karo
- Baaki digits dekh ke tens digit identify karo
Perfect Cube Check Kaise Kare?
Method 1: Prime Factorization
Agar sabhi prime factors ki powers 3 ka multiple hain, toh perfect cube hai
Q: Kya 216 perfect cube hai?
216 = 2³ × 3³
Dono powers 3 ka multiple ✓
∛216 = 2 × 3 = 6 ✓
Answer: Haan ✓
216 = 2³ × 3³
Dono powers 3 ka multiple ✓
∛216 = 2 × 3 = 6 ✓
Answer: Haan ✓
Method 2: Unit Digit Check
Perfect cube ka unit digit koi bhi (0-9) ho sakta hai. Toh ye method reliable nahi hai cube ke liye (unlike square).
Cube Root Ke Properties
1. ∛(a × b) = ∛a × ∛b
2. ∛(a ÷ b) = ∛a ÷ ∛b
3. ∛(a³) = a
4. (∛a)³ = a
5. ∛(-a) = -∛a (Negative cube root possible hai!)
2. ∛(a ÷ b) = ∛a ÷ ∛b
3. ∛(a³) = a
4. (∛a)³ = a
5. ∛(-a) = -∛a (Negative cube root possible hai!)
Example: ∛(-125) = ?
∛(-125) = -∛125 = -5 ✓
Verification: (-5)³ = -125 ✓
∛(-125) = -∛125 = -5 ✓
