Do you want the numerical value of
(1) 5/(7^(1/4))? If so we can write
(2) 7%5E%281%2F4%29+=+%287%5E%281%2F2%29%29%5E%281%2F2%29 or
(3) 7%5E%281%2F4%29+=sqrt%28sqrt%287%29%29 so you can use your simple square root calculator by taking the square root of 7 twice to get
(4) 7^(1/4) = 1.626...
Now divide 5 by (4) to get
(5) 5/(7^(1/4)) = 5/1.626.. or
(6) 5/(7^(1/4)) = 3.0739...
