least no to be multiplied is 3
Given :
- 4608
To find :
Smallest number by which 4608 to be multiplied to get perfect cube.
Solution :
Firstly we need to know what is perfect cube.
Perfect cube is a number raised to its third power , in other words prime factor of perfect cube will be in pair of three( power raised to three)
Now , let us firstly find prime factor of 4608
4608 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 ×2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
4608 = (2×2×2) × (2×2×2) × (2×2×2) × (3×3)
4608 = (2³)×(2³)×(2³)×(3×3)
From above we can see that , only (3×3) is not in pair of three
Therefore we need to multiply by 3 , to make it perfect cube
ANSWER :
Smallest Number by which 4608 should be multiplied to get perfect cube = 3
Note -
4608 × 3 = (2³)×(2³)×(2³)×(3×3)×3
4608 × 3 = (2³)×(2³)×(2³)×(3×3×3)
13824 = (2³)×(2³)×(2³)×(3³)
Now , we can see that 13824 is a perfect cube
