OK, let's crack this. We're given 46 and our task is to multiply it by 12. Essentially, we'll be adding 46 to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 46 = 46
Step 2: 46 + 46 = 92
Step 3: 92 + 46 = 138
Step 4: 138 + 46 = 184
Step 5: 184 + 46 = 230
Step 6: 230 + 46 = 276
Step 7: 276 + 46 = 322
Step 8: 322 + 46 = 368
Step 9: 368 + 46 = 414
Step 10: 414 + 46 = 460
Step 11: 460 + 46 = 506
Step 12: 506 + 46 = 552

So, 46*12 = 552
