Solution:
On factorising 3600 into prime factors, we get:
3600 = 2 ×2 ×2 ×2 ×3 ×3 ×5 ×5
On grouping the factors in triples of equal factors, we get:
3600 = {2 ×2 ×2}×2 ×3 ×3 ×5 ×5
It is evident that the prime factors of 3600 cannot be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over.
Therefore, 3600 is not a perfect cube.
However, if the number is multiplied by (2 ×2 ×3 ×5 = 60), the factors can be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over.
Hence, the number 3600 should be multiplied by 60 to make it a perfect cube.

It is evident that the prime factors of 210125 cannot be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over. Therefore, 210125 is not a perfect cube. However, if the number
is multiplied by 41, the factors can be grouped into triples of equal factors such that no factor is left over.
Hence, the number 210125 should be multiplied by 41 to make it a perfect cube.
Also, the product is given as:
210125 ×41 = {5 ×5 ×5}×{41 ×41 ×41} ? 8615125 = {5 ×5 ×5}×{41 ×41 ×41}

= 9261000
Let us find the cube root of 9261000 using prime factorisation:9261000 = 2 ×2 ×2 ×3 ×3 ×3 ×5 ×5 ×5 ×7 ×7 ×7 = {2 ×2 ×2}×{3 ×3 ×3}×{5 ×5 ×5}×{7 ×7 ×7}
9261000 could be written as a triples of equal factors; therefore, we get:
