Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 232 and we're going to multiply it by 12, essentially adding 232 to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 232 = 232
Step 2: 232 + 232 = 464
Step 3: 464 + 232 = 696
Step 4: 696 + 232 = 928
Step 5: 928 + 232 = 1160
Step 6: 1160 + 232 = 1392
Step 7: 1392 + 232 = 1624
Step 8: 1624 + 232 = 1856
Step 9: 1856 + 232 = 2088
Step 10: 2088 + 232 = 2320
Step 11: 2320 + 232 = 2552
Step 12: 2552 + 232 = 2784

So, 232*12 = 2784
