remember

(a^b)^c=a^(bc)

note that if
a^3 is a perfect cube then
(a^3)^c is also a perfect cube when c is an integer


(a^3)^c=a^(3c)
so if a number is a perfect cube then the power must be divisible by 3

8 is not divisible by 3
24 is divisible by 3
26 is not divisibley by 3
64 is not divisible by 3

the perfect cube is y^24
