To find the least number that is a perfect cube and exactly divisible by 6 and 9, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 9.

The prime factorization of 6 is
\displaystyle 2 * 3, and the prime factorization of 9 is
\displaystyle 3^(2).

To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor that appears in either number. In this case, the highest power of 2 is
\displaystyle 2^(1), and the highest power of 3 is
\displaystyle 3^(2).

Therefore, the LCM of 6 and 9 is
\displaystyle 2^(1) * 3^(2) =2\cdot 9 =18.

Now, we need to find the perfect cube number that is divisible by 18. The smallest perfect cube greater than 18 is
\displaystyle 2^(3) =8.

However, 8 is not divisible by 18.

The next perfect cube greater than 18 is
\displaystyle 3^(3) =27.

Therefore, the least number that is a perfect cube and exactly divisible by both 6 and 9 is 27.
