Powered by AIThe assertion that 1000 is a perfect cube is supported by the reason that its prime factorization is 2^3 × 5^3, as this shows that each prime factor appears in a multiple of three. Therefore, both the assertion and the reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion according to the properties of perfect cubes .
The cube of a number ending in 2 will end in 8. This is observed through calculating different powers of numbers ending in 2. For example, 2^3 = 8, and considering more extensive calculations only confirms this pattern since the last digit in such larger computations continues to cycle through typical units digit behavior, repeating every 10 cycles .
Finding the cube root of 3375 by prime factorization involves breaking it down into its prime numbers: 3375 = 3^3 × 5^3 × 1^3. Grouping identical factors and then simplifying each group by taking one of each of the prime factors shows that the cube root of 3375 is thus the product of these factors: 3 × 5 = 15. This process illustrates how prime factorization provides a structured method for verifying properties of numbers like perfect cubes .
The cube of an odd number is always odd because, in the prime factorization of an odd number, there is no factor of 2. This means multiplying the odd factors three times together will never include 2, maintaining the product as odd. Therefore, both the assertion and reason are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion .
The number 1729 is known as the smallest Hardy–Ramanujan number, a special number in mathematics because it is the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways: 1729 = 1^3 + 12^3 = 9^3 + 10^3. These characteristics were famously discussed between mathematicians G. H. Hardy and Srinivasa Ramanujan .
A perfect cube cannot end with two zeros because a number ending in two zeros must be divisible by 100, which is 10^2 = 2^2 × 5^2. For a number to be a perfect cube, all primes in its factorization must appear in powers of three, not possible with two as the lowest power of ten in the two-zero case. This logical deduction stems from the basic arithmetic properties governing cubes and the decimal numeral system .
To determine if a natural number is a perfect cube using prime factorization, factor the number into its prime constituents. If each of the prime factors appears in a multiple of three, the number is a perfect cube. For example, the number 1000 has the prime factorization 2^3 × 5^3, meaning it is a perfect cube .
Combining multiple identical cuboids to form a perfect cube requires that the total volume (formed by the repetition of unit volumes of cuboids) achieves a configuration in which all component dimensions, converted into prime factors, appear in multiples of three. For Raj's plasticine cuboid scenario, additional cuboids maintain essential measurable cubic volume symmetry where the available prime factors (e.g., for the given cuboid dimensions) numerically equalize on critical cubic bases to establish direct correspondence with pure cube constructs .
Using the identity (a^3 - b^3) = (a-b)(a^2 + ab + b^2), the computation of (12^3 – 11^3) simplifies to (12-11)(12^2 + 12*11 + 11^2) = 1*(144 + 132 + 121) = 1*397 = 397. This pattern avoids excessive multiplication by breaking down the problem using algebraic identities, allowing for quicker resolution and a deeper understanding of mathematical principles .
To determine if the volume of a cuboid can form a perfect cube, calculate the volume as the product of its dimensions, then factorize this volume. For Raj's cuboid with dimensions 15 cm × 30 cm × 15 cm, the volume is 6750 cm³. This factored into primes results in 2 × 3^1 × 5^3 × 3^2 × 2 = 2 × (15^3), not a perfect cube. Multiple identical factor sets are required for a perfect cube. Consequently, additional identical cuboids are necessary until all primes occur in multiples of three, enabling the volume to solidly form a perfect cube .
