Find the cube root of the following number : 389017

Sol. The given number is 389017

Clearly, units digit of this number is 7. Q 33
389017
389 = 27
Therefore, units digit of its cube root is 3.
After stricking out the last three digit
from the right,
389
we are left with the number 389.
Now,
73 = 343 < 389 and
83 = 512 > 389
 Tens digit of the cube root of the given
number is 7

Hence, 3 389017 = 73

137592 will make the product a perfect cube.
Further, find the cube root of the product.

Thus, the smallest required number to multiply

with 137592 to make it a perfect cube is 1183.
And the cube root of the product formed
i.e, 162771336 is 546.
