Which of the following are perfect cubes?
1. 400 2. 3375 3. 8000 4. 15625
5. 9000 6. 6859 7. 2025 8. 10648
Which of the following numbers are not perfect cubes? (i) 216 (ii) 128 (iii) 1000 (iv) 100 (v) 46656
(i) We have 216 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3
Grouping the prime factors of 216 into triples, no factor is left over.
∴ 216 is a perfect cube.
(ii) We have 128 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
∴ 128 is not a perfect cube.
(iii) We have 1000 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5
∴ 1000 is a perfect cube.
(iv) We have 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5
Grouping the prime factors into triples, we do not get any triples.
Factors 2 x 2 and 5 x 5 are not in triples.
∴ 100 is not a perfect cube.
(v) We have 46656 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
Grouping the prime factors of 46656 in triples we are not left over with any prime factor.
∴ 46656 is a perfect cube.
Check which of the following are perfect cubes.
(i) 2700 (ii) 16000 (iii) 64000 (iv) 900
(v) 125000 (vi) 36000 (vii) 21600 (viii) 10000
(ix) 27000000 (x) 1000
What pattern do you observe in these perfect cubes?
