The correct Answer is:
To find the least number by which 1323 must be multiplied so that the product is a perfect cube, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Factorize 1323 We start by factorizing the number 1323 into its prime factors. - Since 1323 is an odd number, it is not divisible by 2. - We check for divisibility by 3. The sum of the digits of 1323 (1 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 9) is divisible by 3, so we divide: \[ 1323 \div 3 = 441 \] - Now, we factor 441. Again, the sum of the digits (4 + 4 + 1 = 9) is divisible by 3, so we divide: \[ 441 \div 3 = 147 \] - Next, we factor 147. The sum of the digits (1 + 4 + 7 = 12) is also divisible by 3, so we divide: \[ 147 \div 3 = 49 \] - Finally, we factor 49, which is \(7 \times 7\) or \(7^2\). Putting it all together, we have: \[ 1323 = 3^3 \times 7^2 \] ### Step 2: Identify the exponents In the prime factorization \(3^3 \times 7^2\), we observe the exponents: - The exponent of 3 is 3 (which is already a perfect cube). - The exponent of 7 is 2 (which is not a perfect cube). ### Step 3: Determine the required factor For a number to be a perfect cube, all the exponents in its prime factorization must be multiples of 3. - The exponent of 3 is already a multiple of 3. - The exponent of 7 is 2. To make it a multiple of 3, we need to increase it to 3. To do this, we need to multiply by \(7^{3-2} = 7^1 = 7\). ### Step 4: Conclusion Thus, the least number by which 1323 must be multiplied to make it a perfect cube is: \[ \boxed{7} \]
