These numbers, called the Dudeney Numbers (after Henry Dudeney) have the sum of their digits equal their cube roots.

Interestingly, there are just six of them-(1, 8, 17, 18, 26, 27)

1 = 1 & 13=1

8 = 5 + 1 + 2 & 83 = 512

17 = 4 + 9 + 1 + 3 & 173 = 4913

18 = 5 + 8 + 3 + 2 & 183 = 5832

26 = 1 + 7 + 5 + 7 + 6 & 263 = 1757

27 = 1 + 9 + 6 + 8 + 3 & 273 = 19683
