Which of the following integers are cubes of negative integers

(i) -64


(ii) -1056


(iii) -2197


(iv) -2744


(v) -42875


(i) -64


Prime factors of 64 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 23 × 23 = 43


We find that 64 is a perfect cube of negative integer – 4 .


(ii) -1056


Prime factors of 1056 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 11


We find that 1056 is not a perfect cube.


Hence, - 1056 is not a cube of negative integer


(iii) -2197


Prime factors of 2197 = 13 × 13 × 13 = 133


We find that 2197 is a perfect cube.


Hence, - 2197 is a cube of negative integer – 13 .


(iv) -2744


Prime factors of 2744 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 23 × 73 = 143


We find that 2744 is a perfect cube.


Hence, - 2744 is a cube of negative integer – 14 .


(v) -42875


Prime factors of 42875 = 5 × 5 × 5 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 53 × 73 = 353


We find that 42875 is a perfect cube.


Hence, - 42875 is a cube of negative integer – 35.
