If you're doing this in a word processor like Microsoft Word or OpenOffice.org Writer, you can insert an equation and enter "2 200/5000". Make sure to include that space.

A more appropriate way to write this fraction, though, is two and two fiftieths, or 2 2/50.

You can see here how the zeros cancel each other out -- i.e., dividing the top (numerator) and the bottom (denominator) by ten twice, or by dividing both by 100 once.

200/5000
20/500
2/50

It may also be good to simplify the fraction into 102/50.

2 * (50/50) = 100/50
100/50 + 2/50 = 102/50

See, 50/50 = 1, so we are technically just multiplying 2 (or 2/1) by 1 (50/50). We haven't changed the value of it, we have just given it the same denominator as 2/50 so they can be added.

You can also display it as a decimal.

2/50 = 4/100 = 0.04
2.00 + 0.04 = 2.04

This explanation may seem large and complicated, but that's just because I gave you three options -- mixed number, simplified (top heavy, or improper) fraction, and decimal. You can choose any of the three you feel like using.

5 200/2000 = 5 2/20 = 5 1/10 = 5.1

Or perhaps you meant:

5 202/1000 = 5.202
