Best Answer

$${\frac{{\mathtt{1\,000}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}} = {\mathtt{333.333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!3}}$$

$${\frac{{\mathtt{40}}}{{\mathtt{3}}}} = {\mathtt{13.333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!333\: \!3}}$$

333-13=320

Or just

$${\frac{\left({\mathtt{1\,000}}{\mathtt{\,-\,}}{\mathtt{40}}\right)}{{\mathtt{3}}}} = {\mathtt{320}}$$
