Thanks. As far as I know, it's the most common method to solve this type of problems.

The main part is to realise the divisor such that 23 /99 as 99 is little vague and may cause further confusion.
. 4 2 3 ¨ = 0 . 4 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 2 3 . . .
\frac { 4 }{ 10 } +\frac { 23 }{ 1000 } \frac { 23 }{ 100000 } \frac { 23 }{ 10000000 } \frac { 23 }{ 1000000000 } \ \frac { 4 }{ 10 } +\frac { 23 }{ 1000 } (1+\frac { 1 }{ { 10 }^{ 2 } } +\frac { 1 }{ { 10 }^{ 4 } } +\quad ...\quad )\ \frac { 4 }{ 10 } +\frac { 23 }{ 1000 } (\frac { 1 }{ 1-\frac { 1 }{ { 10 }^{ 2 } } } )\quad \Longrightarrow \quad \frac { 4 }{ 10 } +\quad \frac { 23 }{ 1000 } *\frac { 100 }{ 99 } \ =\quad \frac { 419 }{ 990 } \ \therefore \quad 419\quad +\quad 990\quad =\boxed { 1409 }
Correct the last line. You have written 9 9 0 4 1 9 = 4 1 9 + 9 9 0

@Md Omur Faruque – Oh that is the equation after simplifying:
\frac { 4 }{ 10 } +\frac { 23 }{ 1000 } *\frac { 100 }{ 99 }

@Syed Baqir – I don't know what you're talking about. But you have written something like: 2 1 = 1 + 2 ⇒ 0 . 5 = 3 And, I don't know how this can be correct.
Actually, the answer is alright. But you have to say that, N u m e r a t o r + D e n o m i n a t o r = 4 1 9 + 9 9 0 You can't say 9 9 0 4 1 9 = 4 1 9 + 9 9 0

@Md Omur Faruque – Ohh actually I assumed that people would notice this since I mentioned already in the Question .

@Syed Baqir – Equal sign means equal and only equal, nothing else. You can never use the ' = ' sign if both sides aren't equal.

Let, A = 0 . 4 2 3 = 0 . 4 + x , where x = 0 . 0 2 3 .
Then, 1 0 x = 0 . 2 3 = 9 9 2 3 ⇒ x = 9 9 0 2 3
And, A = 1 0 4 + 9 9 0 2 3 = 9 9 0 4 1 9 Therefore, the answer is, 4 1 9 + 9 9 0 = 1 4 0 9
