Answer :
Given, the sides of the cuboid as 5 cm, 2 cm and 5 cm.
So we have the volume of the cuboid =\( 5 cm \times 2 cm \times 5 cm = 50 cm^3\)
We have the prime factors of 50 as:
\(50 = 2 \times 5 \times 5\)
To make it a perfect cube, we must have \(2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 5\)
\(\Rightarrow 20 \times (2 \times 5 \times 5)\)
\(\Rightarrow 20 \times volume \;of \;the\; given \;cuboid\)
Thus,we have the required number of cuboids = 20.
