# Cubes And Squares

So here I'm stuck on this question.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone would come up with the steps for the solution.
Here's the question.

Let $$S$$ be the least number with the following property: $$10\times S$$ is a perfect square and $$6\times S$$ is a perfect cube. Find sum of the digits of the number $$S$$?

I tried but I'm not sure of the steps. I'll check the wiki.
