 * I won't give you an answer, but can give you some clues:


 * By "numbers", I assume you mean integers.


 * By p3, I assume you mean p3.


 * I suggest you make a table:

p  p3  189/p3 === === ======== 1  2  3  4  5  6


 * Any values of 189/p3 that work out to be integers are possible answers for q. SinisterLefty (talk) 15:41, 8 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Another method is to consider the prime factorization of 189. Count Iblis (talk) 17:37, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
