Evaluating Scaling Factors in Finance

A financial clerk is calculating scaled quarterly returns and needs to evaluate the expression 2723{}27^{\frac{2}{3}}. To keep the intermediate numbers small, the clerk converts the expression to radical form using the rule amn=(an)ma^{\frac{m}{n}} = \left(\sqrt[n]{a}\right)^m. State the specific root operation indicated by the denominator, the power operation indicated by the numerator, and the final evaluated value of the expression.
