0.365=73/2000.365=73200

Explanation:

A number abcd.lmnpq... can be expanded as

axx10^3+bxx10^2+cxx10^1+d+l/10+m/10^2+n/10^3+p/10^4+q/10^5+.......

Hence 0.365 is

3/10+6/10^2+5/10^3

= 3/10+6/100+5/1000

= (3xx100)/(10xx100)+(6xx10)/(100xx10)+5/1000

= 300/1000+60/1000+5/1000

= 365/1000

As numerator and denominator both are divisible by 5, this reduces to

(73xx5)/(200xx5)=(73xxcancel5)/(200xxcancel5)=73/200
