Insert grouping symbols in the expression 2*3^3+4 to produce the indicated values: 4374 & 279,936. We figured out two of the other ones, but dont know what to do with these two.

Breaking 4374 down into primes:

2%2A3%5E7

So we can get the 7 by grouping (3+4)

so it's  2*3^(3+4) = 4374

-------------------------------------

Break 279936 down into primes:

2%5E7%2A3%5E7

We can write this as

%282%2A3%29%5E7

And we can get the 7 by grouping %283%2B4%29

So it's (2*3)^(3+4) = 279936
