Detailed Solution

Prime factorization is the process of finding which prime numbers can be multiplied together to make the original number, where prime numbers are the numbers greater than 1 and which are not the product of any two smaller natural numbers.
To find the prime factorisation, start dividing the given number 13824 by the first prime number, 2 Continue division until it is not divisible by 2 . Gradually start dividing by 3, 5, 7, 11, 13,....
 ⇒13824 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3
When the same number is multiplied thrice, it can be written as a cube of the number.
 13824=23×23×23×33
Take cube root on both the sides of the equation –
 138243=23×23×23×333
Cube and cube-root cancel each other on the right side of the equation.
 138243=2×2×2×3
Simplification-
 138243=24
So, the correct answer is “Option 1”.
