19845k = 3*3*3*3*5*7*7k = 34*51*72k by a value that will make it a perfect cube, we much choose a value that will cause every factor to have an exponent which is a multiple of 3. The 34 must be multiplied by 32 so it will become 36 The 51 must be multiplied by 52 so it will become 53 The 72 must be multiplied by 71 so it will become 73 So we must multiply 34*51*72 by 32*52*71 So k = 32*52*71 = 9*25*7 = 1575 So the smallest possible positive integer value of k is 1575 Checking: 19845*1575 = 31255875 = 315³ Edwin
