find the smallest number by which each of the following number must be divided to obtain a perfect cube 1536
Answers
Answer:
6
explanation
after getting lcm
clearly we can see.
2*2*2*2*2*3
after dividing by 6 it is a perfect square
Answer➝
We have,
We have, 1536 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
We have, 1536 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 After grouping the prime factors in triplets, it’s seen that one factor 3 is left without grouping.
We have, 1536 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 After grouping the prime factors in triplets, it’s seen that one factor 3 is left without grouping. 1536 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × 3
We have, 1536 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 After grouping the prime factors in triplets, it’s seen that one factor 3 is left without grouping. 1536 = (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × (2 × 2 × 2) × 3 So, in order to make it a perfect cube, it must be divided by 3.
Thus, the smallest number by which 1536 must be divided to obtain a perfect cube is 3.
