Let's get this math done. We have 343 and we're going to multiply it by 12. This is the same as taking 343 and adding it to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 343 = 343
Step 2: 343 + 343 = 686
Step 3: 686 + 343 = 1029
Step 4: 1029 + 343 = 1372
Step 5: 1372 + 343 = 1715
Step 6: 1715 + 343 = 2058
Step 7: 2058 + 343 = 2401
Step 8: 2401 + 343 = 2744
Step 9: 2744 + 343 = 3087
Step 10: 3087 + 343 = 3430
Step 11: 3430 + 343 = 3773
Step 12: 3773 + 343 = 4116

So, 343*12 = 4116
