The given numbers are 243, 512, 392, 8640.
Utilizing prime factorization, express the given number as a product of the factors in the triple form.
From option 1,
243=3×3×3×3×3= 3 3 × 3 2  
 From option 2,
512=2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2×2= 2 3 × 2 3 × 2 3  
From option 3,
392=2×2×2×7×7   From option 4,
8640=2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3×3×5 2 3 × 2 3 × 3 3 ×5  
The number 512 is a perfect cube since there are no factors in grouping (triples) that are left over.
