By a calculation of the size of the cubic cm which its sizes are: 3.8330 * 3.8330 * 5.17455, I got a volume of 76.02. How can I get precisely '''76.04''' cubic cm, by changing the first two mentioned factors (i.e. 3.8330 * 3.8330 * 5.17455) equally?



N.b. I tried many ways and I couldn't find it, always I got more or less but not precisely.

          You have $3.833 times 3.833 times5.174=76.02 .$



          You can change it by multiplying both sides by $displaystyle frac{76.04}{76.02}$.



          We then have $3.833 times 3.833 times5.174 times displaystyle frac{76.04}{76.02}=76.02 times displaystyle frac{76.04}{76.02}$.



          This comes out to $3.833 times 3.833 times5.17564=76.04 $

            You can take any two positive numbers $a$ and $b$, let $c = (76.04/76.02)/ab$ and then multiply each of the factors by $a$, $b$ and $c$. So you can make any two factors anything you like and adjust the third accordingly. If you want to keep the third factor the same and keep the first two equal, let $a = b =$ the square root of $76.04/76.02$.

          Actually $3.833 cdot 3.833 cdot 5.174 = 76.0158$ so the added volume will be $.0242$



          One way is to think of it as adding a sheet $3.833 cdot 3.833$ with a volume of $0.0242 text{cm}^3$. How thick does it have to be to equal that volume?



          Hence, $frac{0.0242}{3.833^2} = .00165$



          So the dimensions will be $3.833 cdot 3.833 cdot (5.174 + .00165)$



          $3.833 cdot 3.833 cdot 5.17565 = 76.040$

          To avoid getting caught-up in specific numbers ...





          Suppose you have
          $$acdot b cdot c = d$$
          but you want $d$ to become $e$. You can make this happen by multiplying both sides by $e/d$:
          $$left(acdot b cdot c right)cdot frac{e}{d} = dcdotfrac{e}{d} = e$$



          Now, you can use the left-hand side's factor of $e/d$ to make adjustments to $a$, $b$, and/or $c$. If you just wanted to adjust one factor, you could write, say,




          $$left( acdot frac{e}{d}right)cdot bcdot c ;=; e tag{1}$$




          If you wanted to adjust two factors proportionally (as is specifically requested in the question), you can "split" $e/d$ equally across the factors using a square root:




          $$frac{e}{d} = sqrt{frac{e}{d}}cdotsqrt{frac{e}{d}} qquadtoqquadleft(acdot sqrt{frac{e}{d}}right)cdotleft(bcdot sqrt{frac{e}{d}}right)cdot c ;=; e tag{2}$$




          Finally, if you later decide you actually want to adjust your entire box proportionally, you can use cube roots:




          $$left(acdotsqrt[3]frac{e}{d}right)cdotleft(bcdotsqrt[3]frac{e}{d}right)cdot left(ccdotsqrt[3]frac{e}{d}right) ;=; e tag{3}$$




          Naturally, the same type of thing works with any number of overall factors and desired adjustments, using higher-level roots as needed.

              You can take any two positive numbers $a$ and $b$, let $c = (76.04/76.02)/ab$ and then multiply each of the factors by $a$, $b$ and $c$. So you can make any two factors anything you like and adjust the third accordingly. If you want to keep the third factor the same and keep the first two equal, let $a = b =$ the square root of $76.04/76.02$.

            Actually $3.833 cdot 3.833 cdot 5.174 = 76.0158$ so the added volume will be $.0242$



            One way is to think of it as adding a sheet $3.833 cdot 3.833$ with a volume of $0.0242 text{cm}^3$. How thick does it have to be to equal that volume?



            Hence, $frac{0.0242}{3.833^2} = .00165$

            To avoid getting caught-up in specific numbers ...





            Suppose you have
            $$acdot b cdot c = d$$
            but you want $d$ to become $e$. You can make this happen by multiplying both sides by $e/d$:
            $$left(acdot b cdot c right)cdot frac{e}{d} = dcdotfrac{e}{d} = e$$



            Now, you can use the left-hand side's factor of $e/d$ to make adjustments to $a$, $b$, and/or $c$. If you just wanted to adjust one factor, you could write, say,




            $$left( acdot frac{e}{d}right)cdot bcdot c ;=; e tag{1}$$




            If you wanted to adjust two factors proportionally (as is specifically requested in the question), you can "split" $e/d$ equally across the factors using a square root:




            $$frac{e}{d} = sqrt{frac{e}{d}}cdotsqrt{frac{e}{d}} qquadtoqquadleft(acdot sqrt{frac{e}{d}}right)cdotleft(bcdot sqrt{frac{e}{d}}right)cdot c ;=; e tag{2}$$




            Finally, if you later decide you actually want to adjust your entire box proportionally, you can use cube roots:




            $$left(acdotsqrt[3]frac{e}{d}right)cdotleft(bcdotsqrt[3]frac{e}{d}right)cdot left(ccdotsqrt[3]frac{e}{d}right) ;=; e tag{3}$$




            Naturally, the same type of thing works with any number of overall factors and desired adjustments, using higher-level roots as needed.
