Best Answer

A positive integer n cubed always can be represented as the sum of consecutive odd numbers. Yet finding this decomposition can seem difficult, as is apparent from considering examples, e.g., "find 'cubes as odds' representations for 125 = 53, 343 = 73, or 117,649 = 3433." We give a descriptive method for this process and a formula with proof by mathematical induction.

What is the difference between a cube and a perfect cube?

A cube is any number multiplied by itself three times, eg 2 cubed = 2³ = 2×2×2 = 8; 1.5³ = 1.5×1.5×1.5 = 3.375 A perfect cube is an integer (whole number) that is the cube of an integer, eg 8 is a perfect cube as it is 2 cubed, but 9 is not a perfect cube as 9 = 2.08008382...³


How do you find the smallest positive integer of a variable in a cube root so that the cube root is an integer ex. find the smallest positive integer g so that the cube root of 400g is an integer?

Here is a method: cube root of 400g = n, where n is an integer cube both sides: 400g = n3 then: g = n3/400 therefore: n3/400 must be an integer if this is so, then n3 must be divisible by 400 with no remainder, and n must be => cube root of 400 which is 7.368 bracket the answer by substitution: let n=8, n cubed = 512 no good let n=12, n cubed = 1728 no good let n=20, n cubed = 8000, 8000/400=20 OK No smaller value of n will be divisible by 400 without a remainder, so g=20 is the smallest positive integer that meets the requirement.
