The smallest number is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to find the smallest number by which 200 should be multiplied to make it a perfect cube.
Now, 200
= 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5
= 2³ × 5²
We see that though the exponent of 2 is 3, the exponent of 5 is 2. In order to find the perfect cube, the exponent of 5 must be 3.
Thus we multiply 200 by 5.
Then 200 * 5
= 1000
= 10³, a perfect cube
∴ the required smallest number is 5.
