Numbers like 1729, 4104, 13832, are known as Hardy–Ramanujan Numbers. They can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.
Numbers obtained when a number is multiplied by itself three times are known as cube numbers.
If in the prime factorisation of any number, each factor appears three times, then the number is a perfect cube.
The symbol 3 denotes cube root. For example 3 27 = 3.
Numbers obtained when a number is multiplied by itself three times, like 1, 8, 27, etc.
Numbers that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways.
A number that can be expressed as the cube of an integer, where each factor in its prime factorization appears three times.
