Question

Find the smallest number by which 8788 must be multiplied so that the quotient is a perfect cube. Also, find the cube root of the perfect cube so obtained.​

Answer 1

Hi ,

Cube of a number :

_______________

For a given number x we define cube

of x = x × x × x , denoted by x^3.

A given Natural number is a perfect

Cube if it can be expressed as the

product of triplets of equal factors.

Now ,

Write given number as product of

prime .

8788 = 2 × 4394

= 2 × 2 × 2197

= 2 × 2 × 13 × 169

= 2 × 2 × 13 × 13 × 13

= 2 × 2 × ( 13 × 13 × 13 )

Here we have only triplet of equal

factors i.e 13

To make 8788 into perfect Cube we

have multiply with 2.

Now ,

2 × 8788 = ( 2 × 2 × 2 ) × ( 13 × 13 × 13 )

17576 = ( 2 × 13 )^3 = ( 26 )^3 perfect

I hope this will useful to you.
