Find the smallest number by which 675 must be multiplied to obtain a perfect cube.
675 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5
Here, we can see that two 5s are left which are not forming a triplet. To make 675 a cube, one more 5 is needed
Hence,
675 x 5 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 3375
We know that 3375 is a perfect cube.
Therefore, the smallest natural number by which 675 should be multiplied to make it a perfect cube is 5.
