Best Answer

To cube a number is to multiply 3 of that number together, for example, 2 cubed is 2 x 2 x 2 (which equals 8). This metaphor results from the way in which the volume of a cube is calculated. If you take the length of an edge of a cube, and multiply 3 of that number together (as described above) you get the volume of the cube.
