x%5E%281%2F6%29%2Ay%5E%281%2F4%29%2Az%5E%281%2F2%29
in order to have a single radical expression you need to have the same index (denominator) so re-write the exponents with the LCD of 12.

x%5E%282%2F12%29%2Ay%5E%283%2F12%29%2Az%5E%286%2F12%29 x^(2/12)*y^(3/12)*z^(6/12)
since the index is 12 re-write as
root%2812%2Cx%5E2y%5E3z%5E6%29
