Question

Find the least number by which 1323 must be multiplied so that the product is a perfect cube.

Solution

1323 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 7

= 33 × 72

To make it a perfect cube, the power of each prime factor must be a multiple of 3.

The power of 3 is already 3, but the power of 7 is 2.

We need one more 7 to make it 73.

So, multiply 1323 by 7.

1323 × 7 = 9261

9261 is a perfect cube.

Therefore, the least number is 7.
