30.
What is the smallest number by which 392 may be divided so that the quotient is a perfect cube?
1.
We have, 400
Resolving 400 into prime factors, we get
400 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5
Clearly, the prime factors 2 and 5 do not appear in group of three (triples).
So, 400 is not a perfect cube.

2.
From the given pattern, we observe that it follows the relation
n3 = [n (n -1) + 1]+ [n (n -1) + 3] + [n (n -1) + 5] + ...+n terms
83 = [8(8 -1) + 1][8(8 -1) + 3] + [8(8 -1) + 5]++ [8(8 -1) + 7] + [8(8 -1) + 9] + [8(8 -1) + 11]+[8(8 -1) + 13] + [8(8 - 1)+ 15]
= [8 x 7 + 1]+ [8 x 7 + 3] + [8 x 7 + 5]+(8 x 7 + 7] + (8 x 7 + 9]+ [8 x 7 + 11]+[8 x 7 + 13]+[8 x 7 + 15]
= (56 + 1)+ (56 + 3) + (56 + 5) + (56 + 7) + (56 + 9) + (56 + 11)+ (56 + 13) + (56 + 15)
= 57 + 59 + 61 + 63 + 65 + 67 + 69 + 71 = 512
3.
We have, 1005
One's digit of 1005 = 5
Now, cube of one's digit of 1005 = (5)3 = 5 x 5 x 5 = 125
Hence,one's digit in the cube of 1005 is 5.
4.
We have, 3331 = 1
One's digit of 3331 = 1
Now, cube of the one's digit of 3331 = (1)3= 1 x 1 x 1=1
Hence, one's digit in the cube of 3331 is 1.

The prime factorisation of 5832
5832 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
Therefore, \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 5832 } \)
= \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ \underline { 2\times 2\times 2 } \underline { 3\times 3\times 3 } \underline { 3\times 3\times 3 } } \)
= 2 x 3 x 3
=18

16.
Given, number is 614125.
So, groups of 614125 are

In the first group, the number 125 ends with 5. We know that, 5 comes at the unit's place of a number only when its cube ends in 5.
So, 5 will come at unit's place.
Now, in the second group, the number is 614
∵ (8)3 = 512 and (9)3=729
and 512 < 614 < 729
So, ten's place of required cube root is 8.
Hence, \(\sqrt [ 3 ]{ 614125 } \) = 85
17.
Given, number is 68600.
Now, prime factorisation of 68600
68600 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 7 x 7 x 7
The prime factor 5 does not have triples.
∴ 68600 is not a perfect cube
So, if we multiply the number 68600 by 5, then we get a perfect cube.
i.e., 68600 x 5 = 343000
= 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5 x 5 x 7 x 7 x 7
= 2 x 5 x 7 =70

18.
Given, number is 21600.
Now, prime factorisation of 21600
21600 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 5
Prime factors 2 and 5 do not have triples.
So, 21600 is not a perfect cube.

∵ 7 x 7 x 7 = 343
So, cube of a number ending in 7 will end in the digit 3.
25.
∵ 72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
So, dividing by 3 x 3 = 9, we get a perfect cube.
26.
72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
So, multiplying by 3, we get a perfect cube.
27.
∵ 250 = 5 x 5 x 5 x 2 ∴ Least number = 2 x 2 =4

(27)3 = 27 x 27 x 27 = 19683
