Get the LCD = 6 of the fractional exponents:



We use the rule:

b%5E%28m%2Fn%29+=+%28root%28n%2Cb%29%5Em%29

root%286%2Cx%5E3%29root%286%2Cy%5E4%29root%286%2Cz%5E5%29  

Now we use the rule:

To multiply roots with the same index, multiply under
the radicals and write that root of the product:

root%286%2Cx%5E3y%5E4z%5E5%29
