Let a be the +ve integer in the form of 3p , 3p+1 , 3p+2
By Euclid Division Algorithm
a = bq + r 
The possible remainder are 
r = 0, 1, 2
r=0
a=3q+0
a=3q
C.O.B.S                    cubing on both sides
a cube = [3q ]cube
a cube = [27q ] cube
a cube = 9 [3q cube]
a cube = 9  { where 3q cube = m }
a cube = 9m
 You can substitute  
r = 1 or r = 2 and get the answer 
If not I can give you it in next 24 hrs

mysticd: my question is for square of any positive integer....., 3p, 3p+1 or 3p+2, but u answered for cube, ok , thank u , i got it
