  2. I can explain you ✋
    Answer,
    Let a be any positive integer and b = 3, using Euclid’s Division Lemma, a = 3q + r, where q ≥ 0 and 0 ≤ r < 3. Therefore, a = 3q or 3q + 1 or 3q + 2.
    Therefore, every number can be represented as these three forms.
    There are three cases.
    Case 1: When a = 3q,
    a³ = (3q)³ = 27q³ = 9(3q³)= 9m
    Where m is an integer such that m = 3q³
    Case 2: When a = 3q + 1,
    a³ = (3q +1)³
    a³ = 27q³ + 27q² + 9q + 1
    a³ = 9(3q³ + 3q² + q) + 1 = 9m + 1
    Where m is an integer such that m = (3q³ + 3q² + q)
    Case 3: When a = 3q + 2,
    a³ = (3q +2)³
    a³ = 27q³ + 54q² + 36q + 8
    a³ = 9(3q³ + 6q² + 4q) + 8
    a³ = 9m + 8
    Where m is an integer such that m = (3q³ + 6q² + 4q)
    Therefore, the cube of any positive integer is of the form 9m, 9m + 1, or 9m + 8.
