Simplifying Load-Bearing Formulas in Construction

You are a trainee estimator at a construction company. You are reviewing a structural formula used to calculate load-bearing capacity, which includes the mathematical component m23m13m53\frac{m^{\frac{2}{3}} \cdot m^{-\frac{1}{3}}}{m^{-\frac{5}{3}}}, where mm represents the mass of a beam. To use this formula efficiently, you must recall the rules of exponents to simplify it. Name the two primary exponent properties required to simplify this expression, and state the final fully simplified result.
