Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We have 72 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
Grouping the prime factors of 72 in triples, we are left over with 3 × 3.
∴ 72 is not a perfect cube.
Now, [72] × 3 =[2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3] × 3
or 216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
i.e. 216 is a perfect cube.
∴ The smallest number required to multiply 72 to make it a perfect cube is 3.
