(47)3 or 473

Explanation:

734

The numerator of the rational exponent represents the "power".
The denominator represents the "root".

A trick to remembering this is the saying "higher power" for the numerator and "the roots of a plant are at the bottom" for the denominator.

In this example 734, the numerator 3 is the "power" or exponent of the final expression.

The denominator 4 in 734 is the root.

(47)3

This can also be written as 473
