While reducing the fraction \frac{2000...0x}{3000...0y}, (x,y\ne 0) in which between 2 and x and between 3 and y there are 2020 zeros, Marco ignored the zeros and wrote \frac{2000...0x}{3000...0y}=\frac{2x}{3y} and he got the correct result. Find all values of x and y for which Marco could get the correct result.
