Trick to find cubes of numbers from 11 to 99.

Trick to find cubes of numbers from 11 to 99.
If a 2-digit number is written in form ‘ab’ then a is tens place digit and b is unit place digit.
To find its cube find:  
1)      a x a x a put 3 zeros(000) after it.
2)      3 x a x a x b; put 2 zeros (00) after it.
3)      3 x a x b x b; put 1 zero after it.
4)      b x b x b
5)      Add all of the above to get the required cube of the given 2-digit number.

6)      Trick can be used to find cubes of 11 to 99. Of course 10’s cube is 1000.
Ex. To find cube of 13:
1)      1 x 1 x 1 = 1 =>                                                   1000
2)      3 x 1 x 1 x 3 = 9 =>                                               900
3)      3 x 1 x 3 x 3 = 3 x 3 x 3 = 9 x 3 = 27 =>                  270
4)      3 x 3 x 3 =                                                               27
                                                            -----------------------------------
5)                                                                        2197
