101 cubed. Bad example.

How to find 101 cubed using abbreviated multiplication formulas? I have already shown how, using the cubes of the sum formula, one can calculate one hundred and one in a cube. There I presented one number 101 as the sum of two numbers 100 and 1. The use of simpler (more convenient in calculations) numbers makes the calculation easier.

On the Internet, I saw an example of using other formulas, the sum of cubes and the difference of cubes. This is a bad example. To find 101 cubed, use the numbers 101 and 100. This is how it looks.

Why is this a bad example? I'll show you now. I'll take the number 101, the cube of which we need to find, and zero.

By using zero, I removed all the mathematical garbage from the calculations - these are four multiplications and four additions or subtractions.
