A perfect cube is an integer that can be expressed as the cube of another integer: ..., −27, −8, −1, 0, 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, 1000, ... Unlike perfect squares, perfect cubes can be negative because the cube of a negative number is negative. The first few positive perfect cubes are 1³ = 1, 2³ = 8, 3³ = 27, 4³ = 64, 5³ = 125. Perfect cubes appear in volume calculations (the volume of a cube with side length s is s³), in number theory (Fermat's Last Theorem proved that x³ + y³ = z³ has no positive integer solutions), and in the sum of cubes formula a³ + b³ = (a+b)(a² − ab + b²). Ramanujan famously recognized 1729 as the smallest number expressible as the sum of two cubes in two different ways: 1³ + 12³ = 9³ + 10³. A number is a perfect cube if and only if every prime in its factorization appears to a multiple-of-three power.

• !Forgetting that negative numbers can be perfect cubes (unlike squares).
• !Using the wrong exponent — checking divisibility of prime exponents by 3, not 2.
• !Rounding errors when computing cube roots of large numbers.
• !Confusing perfect cubes with perfect squares.
