When sum of cubes equals a cube

 

SUMS 6

 

                                                             ——————————————
 

 
SUMS 7

SUMS 8

 
 

See if there are k-values that work in between.

what is the next cube expressible as a sum of consecutive cubes such that k is a power?
k is a prime number?

  1. Derek Orr says:

    If k = x^3 (x not divisible by 3), then m = (x^4 – 3x^3 – 2x^2 + 4) / 6.

  2. Vladimir Pletser says:

    The following k = 6591, 21456, 176824, 11859210 are also members of this sequence, yielding the triplets (k, m, cubic root of sum)= (6591, 305, 82680), (21456, 266785, 7715220), (176824, 407526, 28127850), (11859210, 21709458, 6398174475).
