How to Cube a Number easily and quickly

The cube of a number is that number multiplied by itself twice. For example, 5 cubed denoted as 53; is equal to 555 = 125. The technique for cubing any 2-digit number
discussed below is based on the algebraic observation.
Step-1:

Write numbers in a row of 4 terms in such a way that the first one is the
cube of the 1st digit, second one is the square of 1st number multiplied by
2nd digit, third one is the 1st digit multiplied by square of 2nddigit and the
fourth one is the cube of the 2nd digit.

Step-2:

Write twice the values of 2nd and 3rd terms under the terms respectively
in second row.

Step-3:

Add all the values column-wise and follow the carry over process.

Fourth Column from Right: 1 + 1 = 2. Write down 2.

This 2,744 is the cube of the number 14.

For convenient addition, you can write the values of each column total placing as many
zeros after the number as there are column(s) in the right and then add this way:

512000
172800
19440
729
704969
So, 893 = 704,969

You can also cube a 3-digit number the same way, considering the first 2 digits as a
single digit:
Say, 1033 =?
