=%282%5E4%2Ax%5E15%2Ay%5E7%2Az%5E11%29%5E%281%2F3%29
Pull out the greatest factor of each that has an exponent divisible by 3.
=%282%5E3%2A2%5E1%2Ax%5E15%2Ay%5E6%2Ay%5E1%2Az%5E9%2Az%5E2%29%5E%281%2F3%29
For each factor that has an exponent divisible by 3, there is a perfect cube root of that base with the exponent divided by 3.
