Calculate 5³: Finding the Value of 5 Cubed

To solve this problem, we'll evaluate $5^3$, which means we need to calculate the product of multiplying the number $5$ by itself three times.

• Step 1: Compute $5 \times 5$.
• Step 2: Compute the result of $5 \times 5$ and multiply it by $5$ again.

Let's work through each step:

Step 1: Calculate $5 \times 5 = 25$.

Step 2: Take the result $25$ and multiply it by $5$:
$25 \times 5 = 125$.

Therefore, the value of $5^3$ is $125$.
