Cube (algebra) the last two digits, "any" pair of digits with the last digit odd can be a perfect cube. With even cubes, there is considerable restriction, for only 00, 2, 4, 6 and 8 can be the last two digits of a perfect cube (where stands for any odd digit and for any even digit). Some cube numbers are also square numbers; for example, 64 is a square number and a cube number . This happens if and only if the number is a perfect sixth power (in this case 2). The last digits of each 3rd power are: It is,
Doubling the cube cube involve neusis, the cissoid of Diocles, the conchoid of Nicomedes, or the Philo line. Archytas solved the problem in the 4th century BC using geometric construction in three dimensions, determining a certain point as the intersection of three surfaces of revolution. False claims of doubling the cube with compass and straightedge abound in mathematical crank literature (pseudomathematics). Origami may also be used to construct the cube root of two by folding paper. There is a simple neusis construction using a marked ruler for a length which is the cube root of 2 times another length. Then AG is the
