Find the least integer by which 8100 must be multiplied to obtain a perfect cube
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8100 = 81*100 = 9^2*10^2 = 2^2*3^4*5^2.


To make a perfect cube, we should have indexes at prime factors multiple of 3.


From here, it is clear that the least such integer number to multiply is  2*3^2*5 = 9*10 = 90.


Then the product is  8100*90 = 729000.


CHECK.  root%283%2C729000%29 = 90.


ANSWER.  The least integer by which 8100 must be multiplied to obtain a perfect cube is 90.
