A rectangle is cut into several smaller rectangles, the perimeter of each of which is an integer number of meters. Is it true that the perimeter of the original rectangle is also an integer number of meters?

Arrange brackets and arithmetic signs around these numbers so that the correct equality is obtained: \[\frac{1}{2}\quad \frac{1}{6}\quad \frac{1}{6009} \ = \ 2003.\]
