Interpreting Rational Exponent Notation

In a technical manual for warehouse logistics, a scaling factor is expressed as $125^{\frac{2}{3}} $. To ensure other team members can follow the math, provide a short written explanation of the general rule used to convert a rational exponent of the form$ a^{\frac{m}{n}} $into a radical expression. In your explanation, state the general formula and identify exactly what the numerator ($ m $) and the denominator ($ n$) signify in the conversion process (i.e., which one indicates the root and which one indicates the power).
