On the representation of an even perfect number as the sum of a limited number of cubes

Abstract

The aim of this note is to show that any even perfect number, other than 6, can be written as the sum of 5 cubes of natural numbers. We also conjecture that any even perfect number, other than 6, can be written as the sum of only 3 cubes of natural numbers.
