Math Problem Statement

Find the smallest number by which 27783 should be multiplied to get a perfect cube number.

Solution

To find the smallest number by which 27783 should be multiplied to get a perfect cube, we need to factorize 27783 and then adjust its prime factorization so that each exponent is a multiple of 3.

Let's start by factorizing 27783:

  1. Check for divisibility by 3:

    • Sum of the digits of 27783: 2+7+7+8+3=272 + 7 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 27
    • Since 27 is divisible by 3, 27783 is also divisible by 3.
    • 27783÷3=926127783 \div 3 = 9261
  2. Factorize 9261:

    • Sum of the digits of 9261: 9+2+6+1=189 + 2 + 6 + 1 = 18
    • Since 18 is divisible by 3, 9261 is also divisible by 3.
    • 9261÷3=30879261 \div 3 = 3087
  3. Factorize 3087:

    • Sum of the digits of 3087: 3+0+8+7=183 + 0 + 8 + 7 = 18
    • Since 18 is divisible by 3, 3087 is also divisible by 3.
    • 3087÷3=10293087 \div 3 = 1029
  4. Factorize 1029:

    • Sum of the digits of 1029: 1+0+2+9=121 + 0 + 2 + 9 = 12
    • Since 12 is divisible by 3, 1029 is also divisible by 3.
    • 1029÷3=3431029 \div 3 = 343
  5. Factorize 343:

    • Sum of the digits of 343: 3+4+3=103 + 4 + 3 = 10
    • 343 is not divisible by 3, so check for divisibility by 7:
      • 343÷7=49343 \div 7 = 49
      • 49÷7=749 \div 7 = 7
      • 7÷7=17 \div 7 = 1

So, the prime factorization of 27783 is: 27783=34×7327783 = 3^4 \times 7^3

To make this a perfect cube, each exponent in the prime factorization must be a multiple of 3.

  • For 343^4: The exponent 4 needs to be adjusted to the nearest multiple of 3, which is 6. So we need 2 more factors of 3.
  • For 737^3: The exponent 3 is already a multiple of 3, so no adjustment is needed.

Therefore, the smallest number by which 27783 should be multiplied to get a perfect cube is: 32=93^2 = 9

Thus, the smallest number is 9\boxed{9}.
