Question :3. You are told that 1,331 is a perfect cube. Can you guess with factorization what is its cube root? Similarly guess the cube roots of 4913, 12167, 32768.
Answer :
We know that 10³
= 1000 and Possible cube of 11³= 1331
Since, cube of unit’s digit 1³ = 1
Therefore, cube root of 1331 is 11.
4913
We know that 7³ = 3437
Next number comes with 7 as unit place 17³= 4913
Hence, cube root of 4913 is 17.
12167
We know that 3³= 27
Here in cube, ones digit is 7
Now next number with 3 as ones digit
13³ = 2197
Andnext number with 3 as ones digit
23³ = 12167
Hence cube root of 12167 is 23.
32768
We know that 2³ = 8
Here in cube, ones digit is 8
Now next number with 2 as ones digit
12³= 1728
And next number with 2 as ones digit
22³= 10648
And next number with 2 as ones digit
32³ = 32768
Hence cube root of 32768 is 32.
We know that 10³
= 1000 and Possible cube of 11³= 1331
Since, cube of unit’s digit 1³ = 1
Therefore, cube root of 1331 is 11.
4913
We know that 7³ = 3437
Next number comes with 7 as unit place 17³= 4913
Hence, cube root of 4913 is 17.
12167
We know that 3³= 27
Here in cube, ones digit is 7
Now next number with 3 as ones digit
13³ = 2197
Andnext number with 3 as ones digit
23³ = 12167
Hence cube root of 12167 is 23.
32768
We know that 2³ = 8
Here in cube, ones digit is 8
Now next number with 2 as ones digit
12³= 1728
And next number with 2 as ones digit
22³= 10648
And next number with 2 as ones digit
32³ = 32768
Hence cube root of 32768 is 32.
