Given: A number 16875
To find: (i) The smallest number by which it should be divided to get a perfect cube
(ii) The cube root of number obtained
Solution: The given number is 16875
Expressing the number as the product of it's prime factors:
16875 = (3 × 3 × 3) × (5 × 5 × 5) × 5
Prime factor 5 is appearing in the group of 4. Hence, 16875 should be divided by 5 to get a perfect cube.
16875 ÷ 5 = 3375
Finding cube root of 3375 using Prime Factorization Method:
3375 = (3 × 3 × 3) × (5 × 5 × 5)
∛3375 = 3 × 5 = 15
Hence, the smallest number by which 16875 must be divided to get a perfect cube is 5 and the cube root of the number obtained is 15.
