Edwin's solution:
Break 24 down into prime factors:
Break down into prime factors:
Break down into prime factors:
Substituting:
Since the index is 3, use parentheses to
group as many groups of three like factors
as possible under the radical:
Write each group of three as a cube:
Take the cube roots of those cubes outside
in front of the radical. Leave the factors
that did not group under the radical:
Write the as under the
radical:
