To find the missing number in the series 1, 4, 27, ___, 3125, we need to look for a pattern in the numbers given.
Let’s break down the numbers:
- 1 = 13
- 4 = 23
- 27 = 33
- 3125 = 55
The first three numbers can be regarded as cubes of integers:
- 1 is the cube of 1 (13)
- 4 is the cube of 2 (23, but this isn’t correct, it’s 2 squared, sorry for the confusion)
- 27 is the cube of 3 (33)
Realizing this, we can see that the missing number should be the cube of 4, which is:
- 43 = 64
Now let’s check the last number:
- 55 = 3125
Thus, it seems like the series is a mix of cubes of integers: 13, 23, 33, 43, and then goes to 55. So, the missing number is 64.
Answer: 64
