64 ^ 2 = 4096642=4096

Explanation:

This question becomes easy if you remember that extracting the nn-th root is the same as raising to the 1/n1n-th power.

So, \root[3]{64^6} = (64^6)^{1/3}3646=(646)13

Now use the formula (a^b)^c = a^{bc}(ab)c=abc to get

64^(6*1/3) = 64 ^ 264613=642

In case you need it, 64^2=4096642=4096
