perfect cubes

Eight, twenty-seven, sixty-four

A perfect cube is a number that results from multiplying an integer by itself three times: 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, and so on.

The term distinguishes these from cube roots that yield irrational numbers.

Twenty-seven is a perfect cube because it equals three times three times three.
