8 , 88 , 888 , 8888 , 88888 , 888888 , 8,88,888,8888,88888, 888888, \ldots

By testing out the first few numbers above, it appears that the very first term (8) is the only term that is also a perfect cube. But is this actually true?

That is, is it true that 888888 8 All its digits are 8’s = N 3 \underbrace{888888\ldots8}_{\text{All its digits are 8's}} = N^3 has no solution for integer N > 2 N> 2 ?

Yes, it is true No, it is not true
