Find the smallest number by which each of the following numbers must be divided to obtain a perfect cube. (i) 81 (ii) 128 (iii) 135 (iv) 192 (v) 704
Sides of the cubiod are 5 cm, 2 cm, 5 cm
∴ Volume of the cubiod = 5 cm x 2 cm x 5 cm
To form is as a cube its dimension should be in the group of triples.
∴ Volume of the required cube = [5 cm x 5 cm x 2 cm] x 5 cm x 2 cm x 2 cm
= [ 5 x 5 x 2 cm3 ] x 20 cm3
Thus, the required number of cubiods = 20.
