Question

Find the smallest number by which the following number must be divided to obtain a perfect cube.

704

Sum

Solution

2 704
2 352
2 176
2 88
2 44
2 22
11 11
  1

704 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 11

Here, one 11 is left, which is not a triplet.

If we divide 704 by 11, then it will become a perfect cube.

Thus, 704 ÷ 11

= 64

2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 is a perfect cube.

Hence, the smallest number by which 704 should be divided to make it a perfect cube is 11.
