You need to explain what you mean for , "equal 4,374 and 279,936".

Do you mean, %282%2A3%29%5E3%2B4?
Do you mean, %282%2A3%29%5E%283%2B4%29?___________This one will be one of your numbers. As about the other expression,
%282%2A3%29%5E3%2B4=6%5E3%2B4=216%2B4=220
or maybe try
2%283%29%5E%283%2B4%29=2%2A3%5E7=2%2A2187=4374__________your other number.

The problem is that you need to be precise in your worded language description. If you cannot be properly precise, then use numeric symbolism and include grouping symbols to indicate exactly what you mean.
