Problem:
Find all positive integers such that the cube of the sum of the digits of equals .
Solution:
, so the sum of the digits is at most , so is a cube not exceeding . So we are looking for which is also a square. That implies is a square. So the only possibilities are . Giving . The corresponding cubes of the digit sums are , whereas the corresponding squares are . Thus the only solutions are .
