is there any negative dudeney number?

Dyuman Joshi on 14 Sep 2021

Depends upon how you define them.

If you are taking - sign outside the cube of the sum, every negative number corresponding to the positive Dudeney number is a Dudeney number.

If you define by the way OP has defined, -1 qualifies as a Dudeney number.
