hope it's helpful to you!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let a and b be two positive integers, and a>b
a=(b×q)+r where q and r are positive integers and
0≤r<b
Let b=3 (If 9 is multiplied by 3 a perfect cube number is obtained)
a=3q+r where 0≤r<3
(i) if r=0,a=3q (ii) if r=1,a=3q+1 (iii) if r=2,a=3q+2
Consider, cubes of these
Case (i) a=3q
a

and 'm' is an integer.
Case (ii) a=3q+1

∴ cube of any positive integer is either of the form 9m,9m+1 or 9m+8 for some integer m.
