Question

Find the smallest number by which 8788 be multiplied to obtain perfect cube ?

Answer 1

8788 = 2 × 4394

= 2 × 2 × 2197

= 2 × 2 × 13 × 169

= 2 × 2 × 13 × 13 × 13

= 2 × 2 × ( 13 × 13 × 13 )

Here we have only triplet of equal

factors i.e 13

To make 8788 into perfect Cube we

have multiply with 2.

Now ,

2 × 8788 = ( 2 × 2 × 2 ) × ( 13 × 13 × 13 )

17576 = ( 2 × 13 )^3 = ( 26 )^3 perfect cube
