The prime factorization of 53240 yields,
11³×2³×5
We see that in the prime factorization, only 5 is not forming a cube,
So if we divide the number by 5 it would be perfect cube,
So the smallest number by which 53240 must be divided to get a perfect cube is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:
Solution: 53240 = 2×2×2×11×11×11×5
The prime factor 5 does not appear in a group of three. So, 53240 is not a perfect cube. In the factorisation 5 appears only one time. If we divided the number by 5, then the prime factorisation of the quotient will not contain 5.
So,
53240÷5 = 2×2×2×11×11×11
Hence the smallest number by which 53240 should be divided to make it a perfect cube is 5.
The perfect cube in that case is=10648.
