Is 1372 a perfect cube? If not, find the smallest natural number by which 1372 must be multipled so that the product is a perfect cube.
We have 1372 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 7 x 7
Since, the prime factor 2 does not appear in a group of triples.
∴ 1372 is not a perfect cube.
Obviously, to make it a perfect cube we need one more 2 as its factor.
i.e. [1372] x 2 = [2 x 2 x 7 x 7 x 7] x 2
or 2744 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 7 x 7 x 7
which is a perfect cube.
Thus, the required smallest number = 2.
