The correct Answer is:
To find the smallest number by which 210125 must be multiplied so that the product is a perfect cube, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Factorize 210125 First, we need to find the prime factorization of 210125. - The last digit is 5, so we can divide by 5: - 210125 ÷ 5 = 42025 - 42025 ÷ 5 = 8405 - 8405 ÷ 5 = 1681 Now we have: \[ 210125 = 5^3 \times 1681 \] ### Step 2: Factorize 1681 Next, we need to factor 1681. - We can check if 1681 is a perfect square. - The square root of 1681 is 41, so: \[ 1681 = 41^2 \] Thus, we can rewrite the factorization of 210125 as: \[ 210125 = 5^3 \times 41^2 \] ### Step 3: Analyze the powers of the prime factors For a number to be a perfect cube, all the prime factors must have exponents that are multiples of 3. - In our factorization: - The power of 5 is 3 (which is already a multiple of 3). - The power of 41 is 2 (which is not a multiple of 3). ### Step 4: Determine the smallest number to multiply To make the power of 41 a multiple of 3, we need to increase it from 2 to 3. - We can do this by multiplying by \( 41^{(3 - 2)} = 41^1 \). ### Conclusion Thus, the smallest number by which 210125 must be multiplied to make it a perfect cube is: \[ \text{Required number} = 41 \] ---
