What to Focus On

  • Cube means multiplying a number three times.
  • Written form of cube is m^3.
  • Positive number cubed gives a positive result.

  • A perfect cube is the cube of a number.
  • All prime factors must be arranged in triplets.
  • 297 is not a perfect cube.

  • For multiplication, add the missing factor to complete a triplet.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A number is a perfect cube if it has at least one triplet of equal prime factors.
