Answer:
The smallest number by which 2916 must be multiplied to obtain a perfect cube is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Prime factorising 2916, we get,
2916=2×2×3×3×3×3×3×3
=2
2
×3
6
.
We know, a perfect cube has multiples of 3 as powers of prime factors.
Here, number of 2's is 2 and number of 3's is 6.
So we need to multiply another 2 in the factorization to make 2916 a perfect cube.
Hence, the smallest number by which 2916 must be multiplied to obtain a perfect cube is 2.
