The sum of cubes is a type of mathematical formula that belongs to the category of factorization, multiplication formulas, and identities. The sum of cubes is the sum of one cubed number plus another cubed number.

For example: 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ = 1 + 8 + 27 + 64 = 100.

The formula for the sum of cubes of consecutive natural numbers: S(n)=1³ + ... + n³ = [n/2(1 + n)]²
