Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 164 and we're going to multiply it by 12, which means adding 164 to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 164 = 164
Step 2: 164 + 164 = 328
Step 3: 328 + 164 = 492
Step 4: 492 + 164 = 656
Step 5: 656 + 164 = 820
Step 6: 820 + 164 = 984
Step 7: 984 + 164 = 1148
Step 8: 1148 + 164 = 1312
Step 9: 1312 + 164 = 1476
Step 10: 1476 + 164 = 1640
Step 11: 1640 + 164 = 1804
Step 12: 1804 + 164 = 1968

So, 164*12 = 1968
