The F Major triad uses F, A, C. Read the displayed pitches from low to high. Octave numbers identify register, not finger numbers.

From F, the chord uses the root, a major third and a perfect fifth. The scale-degree formula is 1–3–5.
The same chord tones can be reordered so a different chord tone is the lowest note. The written slash symbol identifies the bass note; it does not change the chord root.
