Square as well as cube !!!!

There are nos. which can be expressed as a perfect square as well as a perfect cube...like 1,64,729 etc.

Can you tell me how many trailing zeroes does 100th such number has???

Notes:

68700 has 2 trailing zeroes whereas 68707 has none!!!

Plz also tell what these types of numbers are called!!!!


The answer is 12.

Such number can be expressed as :

a 3 = b 2 a^3 = b^2

Such number is only possible only if a is a perfect square and b can be written as : a*c, where c is sq.root. of a (I don't know how to explain this to you so apply your common sense)

Now for 100th such no, a will be 100^2 = 10000

Now the no will be a 3 = 1000 0 3 = 1000000000000 a^3 = 10000^3 = 1000000000000

Thereby number of trailing zeroes = 12 \boxed{12}
