There could be many such numbers.

If N = 1/2560 then

N x 2560 = 1

If assuming N as natural number,

N = 390625

390625 x 2560 = 1000 000 000

Shr111: Sorry, but the answer in my book is 25.
khiljee: infinite numbers are possible.
khiljee: 25 x 2560 = 64000 = 40^3
Shr111: Hey sorry. Actually I missed a word in my question. We have to find the smallest number. Its my fault. Sorry.
khiljee: it's ok.. the trick is you have to do this by trial method. since 2560 ends with zero... => answer will be multiple of 5. start by putting 5 and go all the way upto 10, 15, 20, 25..
Shr111: Ok thanks.
