To find the smallest value of k when 882k is a cube, we need to factor out the cube from 882k. The prime factorization of 882 is 2 x 3^2 x 7^2. For 882k to be a cube, we need to find the smallest value of k such that the exponent of each prime factor in the prime factorization of 882k is a multiple of 3. Therefore, the smallest value of k would be 2^2 x 3 x 7 = 84.

Factor the number 882, until you get prime factors. See what prime factors are missing to complete a cube (each Prime number has to be to the power 3, 6, etc.). Multiply those missing factors, to get "k".
