Remove Three Zeros and Remove the Comma Separator

I have two questions for those who are developers as I am not.

First:

I have a series of numbers: These are just examples each are independent and being read from an excel spreadsheet.

80000

100000

20000

I want to remove the three (3) trailing zeros to have them display

10

100

20

Second:

I also have a series of numbers as follows.

080,000

0041,211

0002,738

I need to remove the leading zeros and the comma separator

Once done I am going to calculate the two numbers to get an average so a/b=c

Any suggestions is well appreciated
