 75,  50
 3
 75,  25
 5
 25,  25

  5,   5
 
  1,   1

∴ LCM of 75 and 200 = `2 xx 2 xx 2 xx 3 xx 5 xx 5` = 600

Now, converting each of the given fractions to equivalent fractions with denominators 600.

`(12 xx 8)/(75 xx 8) = 96/600` and `(32 xx 3)/(200 xx 3) = 96/600`

Clearly, `96/600 = 96/600`

∴ `12/75 = 32/200`
