Prime factarisation of a number is 2^5 x 3^6 x 7^2
Is this number a
perfect whe? find the least
number by which it should the multiplied, so
the resulting number is a perfect cube
Answers
Answer:
Prime
factorisation of 2592=2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3×3
On grouping the factors in pairs, we notice that one 2 is left out. Hence,we should multiply 2592 with 2, so that prime factor 2 gets grouped in pairs.
Hence, 2592 should be multiplied by 2 to make it a perfect square.
Step-by-step explanation:
2⁵ × 3⁶ × 7²
We should know that, if a number is a perfect square, then all its prime factorization must have a power of 2 or multiples of 2 like 4,6,8,etc.
Similarly,
If a number is a perfect cube, then all its prime factorization must have a power of 3 or multiples of 3, like 6,9,12,etc.
So here the number is
2⁵ × 3⁶ × 7²
Here all the numbers do not have a power of 2 or multiples of 2 (look 2⁵.....)
So, it is not a perfect square
also, all the numbers dont have a power of 3 or multiple of 3 (look 2⁵ and 7².......)
So to make it a perfect cube we must make it a multiple of 3
so, 2⁵ × 2 = 2⁶
and, 7² × 7 = 7³
Thus,
(2⁵ × 3⁶ × 7²) should be multiplied by 2 and 7
so, the perfect cube will be
(2⁵ × 3⁶ × 7²) × 2 × 7
(2⁵ × 3⁶ × 7²) × 14
so, 14 must be multiplied to 2⁵ × 3⁶ × 7² to get a perfect
