\(\boxed{1}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Rewrite the given expression as: \(\frac{2^{2003} \cdot 3^{2002}}{2^{2002} \cdot 3^{2003}}+\frac{2^{2002} \cdot 3^{2002}}{2^{2002} \cdot 3^{2003}}\)

Step 2 :Factor out the common terms in the numerator and denominator: \(\frac{2^{2002} \cdot 3^{2002} (2)}{2^{2002} \cdot 3^{2003}}+\frac{2^{2002} \cdot 3^{2002}}{2^{2002} \cdot 3^{2003}}\)

Step 3 :Cancel out the common terms: \(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}\)

Step 4 :Add the fractions: \(\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{3}\)

Step 5 :\(\boxed{1}\)
