First find #6^3#, then multiply by #4#.

#6^3# means #6# cubed. To find this, multiply #6# by #6# to the second power.

#6^3 = 6 xx 6^2 = 6 xx 6 xx 6 = 216#

Then multiply this by #4#

#216 xx 4 = 864#

Since #6=2xx3# and #4=2xx2=2^2#:

This can be re-written as:
#(2xx3)^3xx2^2=2^3xx3^3xx2^2=2^5xx3^3#

This can be worked out to be #32xx27=864#
