Hensel's lemma the value of "c" mod 27: if "c" ≡ 1 mod 27 then use "a" = 1, if "c" ≡ 10 mod 27 then use "a" = 4 (since 4 is a root of "f"("x") mod 27), and if "c" ≡ 19 mod 27 then use "a" = 7. (It is not true that every "c" ≡ 1 mod 3 is a 3-adic cube, e.g., 4 is not a 3-adic cube since it is not a cube mod 9.) In a similar way, after some preliminary work Hensel's lemma can be used to show that for any "odd" prime number
Cube (algebra) Cube (algebra) In arithmetic and algebra, the cube of a number is its third power: the result of the number multiplied by itself twice: It is also the number multiplied by its square: This is also the volume formula for a geometric cube with sides of length , giving rise to the name. The inverse operation of finding a number whose cube is is called extracting the cube root of . It determines the side of the cube of a given volume. It is also raised to the one-third power. Both cube and cube root are odd functions: The cube
