    (i) 243
    Prime factors of 243 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
    Here 3 does not appear in 3’s group.
    Therefore, 243 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect cube.
    (ii) 256
    Prime factors of 256 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2
    Here one factor 2 is required to make a 3’s group.
    Therefore, 256 must be multiplied by 2 to make it a perfect cube.
    (iii) 72
    Prime factors of 72 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
    Here 3 does not appear in 3’s group.
    Therefore, 72 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect cube.
    (iv) 675
    Prime factors of 675 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 5
    Here factor 5 does not appear in 3’s group.
    Therefore 675 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect cube.
    (v) 100
    Prime factors of 100 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5
    Here factor 2 and 5 both do not appear in 3’s group.
    Therefore 100 must be multiplied by 2 x 5 = 10 to make it a perfect cube.
