Hi!

The smallest value of
k can be 0 or 9

Explanation :-

For your question, there will be two possible answers, which means that,
k can be 8829 and 8820 .

It is allowed to write any one number out of these two as any number ending with 0 or 9 are perfect cubes.

Hence, the answer will be 8820 or 8829

---------------------------------

Hint :-

882 = 2×3²×7². By trying to get to 2³×3³×7³ = (2×3×7)³. In other words, figure out what is missing that k needs to be so that you arrive at (2×3×7)³

Or put another way, you want to solve 882×k = (2×3×7)³
