Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 487. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 12. So, we're going to take the number 487 and add it to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 487 = 487
Step 2: 487 + 487 = 974
Step 3: 974 + 487 = 1461
Step 4: 1461 + 487 = 1948
Step 5: 1948 + 487 = 2435
Step 6: 2435 + 487 = 2922
Step 7: 2922 + 487 = 3409
Step 8: 3409 + 487 = 3896
Step 9: 3896 + 487 = 4383
Step 10: 4383 + 487 = 4870
Step 11: 4870 + 487 = 5357
Step 12: 5357 + 487 = 5844

So, 487*12 = 5844
