P = 2 × 4 4 × 324 4 × 7776 5 × 256 6 = 2 1 2 × ( 2 2 ) 1 3 × ( 2 2 3 4 ) 1 4 × ( 2 5 3 5 ) 1 5 × ( 2 8 ) 1 6 = 2 1 2 + 2 3 + 2 4 + 5 5 + 8 6 3 4 4 + 5 5 = 2 4 3 2 = 144 \large \begin{aligned} P & = \sqrt 2 \times \sqrt [4]4 \times \sqrt[4]{324} \times \sqrt[5]{7776} \times \sqrt[6]{256} \\ & = 2^\frac 12 \times (2^2)^\frac 13 \times (2^23^4)^\frac 14 \times (2^53^5)^\frac 15 \times (2^8)^\frac 16 \\ & = 2^{\frac 12+\frac 23+\frac 24+\frac 55+\frac 86}3^{\frac 44+\frac 55} \\ & = 2^43^2 \\ & = \boxed{144} \end{aligned}

The first and third terms multiply to 6.

The second and fifth terms multiply to 4.

The fourth term is equal to 6.

6 * 4 * 6 = 144
