Patterns
A pattern is a sequence of numbers, shapes, or objects that follows a specific rule or order.
Example: Patterns in floor tiles
Notes
Some Interesting Patterns of Cube Numbers:
1. Adding consecutive odd numbers:
1 = 1 = 13
3 + 5 = 8 = 23
7 + 9 + 11 = 27 = 33
13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 64 = 43
21 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29 = 125 = 53
We can see from the above pattern,
If we want n3, then we needed n consecutive odd numbers such that the sum of consecutive odd numbers is equal to n3.
2. Cubes and their prime factors:
Consider the following prime factorisation of the numbers and their cubes.
| Prime factorisation of a number | Prime factorisation of its cube |
| 4 = 2 × 2 | 43 = 64 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 23 × 23. |
| 6 = 2 × 3 | 63 = 216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 23 × 33. |
| 15 = 3 × 5 | 153 = 3375 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 5 = 33 × 53. |
| 12 = 2 × 2 × 3 | 123 = 1728 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 23 × 23 × 33. |
Observe that each prime factor of a number appears three times in the prime factorisation of its cube.
If in the prime factorisation of any number each factor appears three times, then the number is a perfect cube.
1) Is 216 a perfect cube?

By prime factorisation, 216 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3....(factors can be grouped in triples)
Each factor appears 3 times.
216 = 23 × 33 = (2 × 3)3 = 63 which is a perfect cube.
3) Smallest multiple that is a perfect cube
Example
Is 243 a perfect cube?
243 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
In the above factorisation 3 × 3 remains after grouping the 3’s in triplets.
Therefore, 243 is not a perfect cube.
