Which of the following numbers are notperfect cubes?
(i) 216
(ii) 128
(iii) 1000
(iv) 100
(v) 46656
Answer :
(i) The prime factorisation of 216 is as follows.

216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 23 × 33
Here, as each prime factor is appearing as many times as a perfect multiple of 3, therefore, 216 is a perfect cube.
(ii)The prime factorisation of 128 is as follows.

128 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2
Here, each prime factor is not appearing as many times as a perfect multiple of 3. One 2 is remaining after grouping the triplets of 2. Therefore, 128 is not a perfect cube.
(iii) The prime factorisation of 1000 is as follows.

1000 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 5 × 5 × 5
Here, as each prime factor is appearing as many times as a perfect multiple of 3, therefore, 1000 is a perfect cube.

100 = 2 × 2 × 5 × 5
Here, each prime factor is not appearing as many times as a perfect multiple of 3. Two 2s and two 5s are remaining after grouping the triplets. Therefore, 100 is not a perfect cube.
(v)The prime factorisation of 46656 is as follows.

Find the smallest number by which each of the following numbers must be multiplied to obtain a perfect cube.
(i) 243
(ii) 256
(iii) 72
(iv) 675
(v) 100
Answer :
(i) 243 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
Here, two 3s are left which are not in a triplet. To make 243 a cube, one more 3 is required.
In that case, 243 x 3 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 729 is a perfect cube.
Hence, the smallest natural number by which 243 should be multiplied to make it a perfect cube is 3.
(ii) 256 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
Here, two 2s are left which are not in a triplet. To make 256 a cube, one more 2 is required.
Then, we obtain
256 x 2 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 512 is a perfect cube.
Hence, the smallest natural number by which 256 should be multiplied to make it a perfect cube is 2.
(iii) 72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Here, two 3s are left which are not in a triplet. To make 72 a cube, one more 3 is required.
Then, we obtain
72 x 3 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 216 is a perfect cube.
Hence, the smallest natural number by which 72 should be multiplied to make it a perfect cube is 3.
(iv) 675 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5
Here, two 5s are left which are not in a triplet. To make 675 a cube, one more 5 is required.
Then, we obtain
675 x 5 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 3375 is a perfect cube.
Hence, the smallest natural number by which 675 should be multiplied to make it a perfect cube is 5.
(v) 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5
Here, two 2s and two 5s are left which are not in a triplet. To make 100 a cube, we require one more 2 and one more 5.
Then, we obtain
100 x 2 x 5 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 1000 is a perfect cube
Hence, the smallest natural number by which 100 should be multiplied to make it a perfect cube is 2 x 5 = 10.
