Detailed Solution

It is required to find the smallest number by which 68600 must be multiplied to get a perfect cube.
Utilizing prime factorization, express the given integer as a prime factor product.
68600=2×2×2×5×5×7×7×7= 2 3 × 5 2 × 7 3  
68600 is not a perfect cube since factor 5 does not contain triples.
The result of multiplying 68600 by 5 is a number that forms a perfect cube.
Therefore, 5 is the least number that needs to be multiplied to 68600 to produce a perfect cube.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
