What exactly are Cube Numbers?

Cube numbers are the result of multiplying a number by itself three times. For example, 2×2×2=82 × 2 × 2 = 82×2×2=8, so 8 is a cube number. They are also called perfect cubes and follow the form n3n^3n3, where n is any whole number.
 
Cube numbers are numbers obtained by multiplying a whole number by itself three times. In other words, a cube number is the third power of an integer.

For example:
  • ( 1^3 = 1 )
  • ( 2^3 = 8 )
  • ( 3^3 = 27 )
  • ( 4^3 = 64 )
So, 1, 8, 27, 64, etc., are cube numbers.

They’re called cubes because they represent the volume of a cube whose sides are that number of units long.
