Sure, honey, let me break it down for you. No, a Prime number cannot be a perfect cube because a prime number is only divisible by 1 and itself. And let me tell you, a perfect cube is the result of multiplying a number by itself three times, so a prime number ain't gonna fit that bill. So, in short, a prime number and a perfect cube are like oil and water - they just don't mix, darling.

Yes, a prime number can be a perfect cube. A perfect cube is a number that can be expressed as the cube of an integer, such as 1, 8, 27, etc. A prime number is a number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and itself. So, a prime number that is also a perfect cube would be a number like 2^3 = 8.

Oh, isn't that a happy little question! Prime numbers are like unique little gems in the mathematical world, and they can certainly be perfect cubes. For example, the prime number 2 is a perfect cube because 2 x 2 x 2 equals 8. So yes, a prime number can definitely be a perfect cube, and it's just another beautiful example of the diversity and wonder of numbers.

No, being a perfect cube would mean it has factors.
