Rahul makes a cuboid of plasticine of sides 3cm×3cm×5cm. How many such cuboids will he need to form a cube?

Answer»

Step-by-step EXPLANATION:

Prime factorisation

(So that we can find the number to multiply to get perfect cube)

so the prime factors are 3 , 3 and 5

We must have triplets in the factors.If triplets are not there we should multiply the numbers such as there is a PAIR of 3 and single 5 so one 3 is less from its triplet and pair of 5 is less from its triplet.

So multiply these numbers 3*5*5=75

Therefore 75 number of cuboids are needed
