The apostrophe after the s of the plural noun brothers tells you that it is a possessive noun, a noun indicating that something in the sentence belongs to two or more brothers.
Examples:

The brothers' business is very successful. (the business of the brothers)
She made Sandwiches for her brothers' lunch.

∙ 11y agoIf it belongs to the brother like a pencil case, it would be brother's.
If it belongs to two brothers, it's brothers'
And if you're talking about your brothers it doesn't.
I hope this helps :)
