Choose the number which is different from others in the group.

The correct answer is

1321

Finding the Different Number in the Group

The question asks us to identify the number that is different from the others in the given group of numbers: 27, 125, 343, and 1321.

To find the different number, we need to look for a pattern or property that applies to most of the numbers but not all of them. Let's examine each number:

  • 27: This number can be obtained by cubing an integer. $27 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 = 3^3$. So, 27 is a perfect cube.
  • 125: This number can also be obtained by cubing an integer. $125 = 5 \times 5 \times 5 = 5^3$. So, 125 is a perfect cube.
  • 343: Let's check if this is a perfect cube. $343 = 7 \times 7 \times 7 = 7^3$. Yes, 343 is a perfect cube.
  • 1321: Let's check if this number is a perfect cube. We know $10^3 = 1000$ and $11^3 = 1331$. Since 1321 is between 1000 and 1331, its cube root would be between 10 and 11, which is not an integer. Therefore, 1321 is not a perfect cube.

Based on this analysis, we can see a pattern: the numbers 27, 125, and 343 are all perfect cubes of integers (3, 5, and 7 respectively). The number 1321, however, is not a perfect cube.

Therefore, the number 1321 is different from the others in the group because it does not share the property of being a perfect cube.
