Monday, September 30, 2013 How to verify if a number is perfect cube By yobankexam s 10:42 AM www.yobankexams.com Prime Factorization Method is the method to use to as find out if a given number is a perfect cube or not if Prime you want accurate results. Before going into the ictorization parle of the Prime Fackotzation Method, it is \elpful to know what Prime factors are. Method Prime numbers are those numbers which are divisible only by 1 and the number itself. These numbers do not have any other divisible factors. Prime numbers such as 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29....... are also known as the prime factors. Now, we shall see how Prime Factorization Method is done from the below steps. Step 1: Find the prime factors of the given number. Step 2: Group the factors in 3's of equal factors. Step 3: After grouping, If you are not left with any separate single or double factor, then the given number is a perfect cube. If you are left with any separate single or double factor, then the given number is not a perfect cube. Let us consider some examples to understand the Prime Factorization Method better. Examplei: Verify if 216 is a perfect cube. Step1i: We start by finding prime factors of 216. 216 108 54 27 WWNNN Prime factors of 216 are 2x2x2x3x3x3 Step 2: Grouping the factors into 3's (2x2x2) x (3x3x3) Step 3: After grouping, we notice that no factor is left. Therefore we can say that 216 is definitely a perfect cube. Example 2: Verify if 1024 is a perfect cube Step1: We start by finding prime factors of 216. 1024 512 256 128 64 16 4 BNNNNN Prime factors of 1024 are 2x2x2x2x3x3x3 Step 2: Grouping the factors into 3’s (2x2x2) x 2 x (3x3x3x3) Step 3: After grouping, we notice that factor 2 is left. Therefore we can say that 1024 is not a perfect cube.
