For fixed positive integers \(k,l,n\), the Diophantine equation \[ (x+1)^k+(x+2)^k+\cdots + (lx)^k = y^n \] has attracted the interest of various authors. In this paper the author considers the case when \(l=2,k=3\) and \(n\ge 2\) which results to the title equation. By a clever use of totally elementary Number Theory, he proves that this equation has no integer solutions with \(x,y\ge 1\).
