to find the minimum number of cubes , you have to find the greatest common divisor between the dimensions of the rectangular box, and it will be the side length of the cubes, then each cube has a volume side^3 you calculate the volume of rectangular box and divide by volume of one cube to get their number

It is in decimal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The side of the cube should be 5

OpenStudy (hoblos):

it should be 10 actually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (hoblos):
