How to assign to different variables for this output in powershell?

Suppose the below output was there. I want to assign to different variables in powershell. Can anyone please explain

Example::

input ::

Get-MailboxDatabase -Server NYRTFG01 | Select servers | select -First 1 | sort servers Servers ------- {NYRTFG01, NYRTFG02, NYNTFG01, NYNTFG01}

$a = Get-MailboxDatabase -Server NYRTFG01 | Select servers | select -First 1 | sort servers $a.servers | select name
Name ---- NYRTFG01 NYRTFG02 NYNTFG01 NYNTFG01

I want to assign to four variables of the four servers like this

$server1 = "NYRTFG01"
$server2 = "NYRTFG02"
$server3 = "NYNTFG01"
$server4 = "NYNTFG01"

Based on your responses to my comments, I believe the below is what you are after. A little convoluted but it works.

$MailServers = Get-MailboxDatabase -Server NYRTFG01 | Select servers -First 1 | Sort servers
$i = 1
($MailServers.Servers).ForEach({
    New-Variable -Name "Server$i" -Value $PSItem
    $i++
})

This cycles through each item in $MailServers and creates a new variable with the name "Server" followed by an increasing number based on the .Count of $MailServers. The adds the item as the value of the new variable.
