With what least number should 8640 be divided so that the quotient is a perfect cube? Cubes and Cube Roots, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 8.

8640=(2×2×2)×(2×2×2)×(3×3×3)×58640 = (2 \times 2 \times 2) \times (2 \times 2 \times 2) \times (3 \times 3 \times 3)\times 5

Since the prime factor 5 is not in triplets,

8640 will be divided by 5 so that the product is a perfect cube.
