It actually simplify to 3 23/125 <========not 124
The rule is:
As long we multiply the same number to the denominator and the numerator, the value of the fraction remains the same.
For example
2 / 5 = 4 / 10, because we numtiply both the original numerator and denominator by 2
vice versa, we can divide to make the fraction equivalent.
184 / 1000 = (184 ÷ 8) / (1000 ÷ 8) = 23 / 125
Add a 3 in front of it, to get
3 and 23 / 125
(the reason we got 8, is by finding the Greatest Common Factor of 184 and 1 000)

184/1000 = (184/8) / (1000/8) = 23/125
3 184/1000 = 3 23/125
3 184/1000 = 3 23/125

Not sure but I get 23/125 divided down by 8.

It isn't! It reduces to 3 and 23/125.
