\large\underline{\sf{Solution-}}

Let the number be multiplied be 'x'.

Therefore, according to the given conditions:


\rm\longmapsto {3}^( - 3) * x = 4

We know that:


\rm\red⇛ {x}^( - a) = \frac{1}{ {x}^(a) }

Therefore:


\rm\longmapsto \frac{1}{ {3}^(3) } * x = 4


\rm\longmapsto (x)/(27 ) = 4

Multiplying both sides by 27, we get:


\rm\longmapsto27 * (x)/(27 ) = 4 * 27


\rm\longmapsto x = 4 * 27


\rm\longmapsto x = 108

So, 108 must be multiplied to get 4.

Verification:

Substitute x = 108, we get:


\rm = {3}^( - 3) * 108


\rm = (1)/(27) * 108


\rm = (1)/(27) * 27 * 4


\rm =4
