alrite, ive tried looking at this in different angles, but theres no lightbulb popping up above my hea (if u catch my drift)

A B C
1 8 27
64 125 216


~~the data above was featured in a table-- the question is: in what column would you find the number one billion and why?~~

~~ the information is jumbled, but it was originally aligned according to row and column, so the numbers 1 and 64 go under column "A". the numbers 8 and 25 go under column "B". the numbers 27 and 216 go under column "C".

A : Numbers that are Perfect Squares
1^3 = 1
4^3 = 64

B : Numbers that are Prime
2^3 = 8
5^3 = 125

C : Numbers Divisible by 3
3^3 = 27
6^3 = 216

1 billion = 100^3

since 100 is a perfect square, and it is neither divisible by 3 or prime.

1 billion would follow under the A column

ANS : A column

1 billion will come under column A. 1 billion is cube of 1000. In the data you have shown, all the cubic numbers for numbers, which will have a reminder of 1 when divided by 3, are in column A. So, 1 billion will also be in Column A.

It would go in the first column. Each increasing number is an increasing number to the power of three 1 = 1^3 8 = 2^3 etc. By the time you got to 1000^3, that would = 1 billion. 1000 would fall in the first column, because it is immediately one number more than the last number evenly divisible by 3, or 999.

The numbers under A B and C are the cube value of each numbers, from 1 to 6.
Find what the cube root of one billion is, and figure out which column it would go, going

1 2 3
4 5 6

Got it?

Each number listed so far is a cube of the basic numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6 respectively. One billion is the cube of one thousand. Now to find out which column it belongs in. Since the numbers in the third column are divisible by three, the number 999 would go in the third column. Therefore, one thousand goes in the first column under A, so one billion goes correspondingly under A.

are related in some way to
1 2 3
4 5 6

Determine the number that's related to 1,000,000,000 in the same way; determine which column it would come in if you continued to arrange consecutive integers in 3 columns.
