One of these four numbers does not belong with the other three: 8, 27, 64, 100. Which one is it?

  • A8
  • B27
  • C64
  • D100

Step-by-Step Solution

8 = and , so three of them are perfect cubes. 100 is not a cube, so it is the odd one. Many students pick 64 instead because it is also a perfect square and so 'feels different' — but being a square as well does not stop it being a cube, and a square/non-square split would leave two numbers on each side rather than three and one.
Answer: D) 100
