Which of the following are the cubes of even numbers?

(i) 216 (ii) 729


(iii) 512 (iv) 3375


(v) 1000

By the rule for even numbers, the cubes of even numbers are always even.


So, first we have to look for which given numbers are even.


216, 512 and 1000 are the even numbers.


Now, the prime factorization are as follows:
