Let's get this math done. We have 492 and we're going to multiply it by 12. This is the same as taking 492 and adding it to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 492 = 492
Step 2: 492 + 492 = 984
Step 3: 984 + 492 = 1476
Step 4: 1476 + 492 = 1968
Step 5: 1968 + 492 = 2460
Step 6: 2460 + 492 = 2952
Step 7: 2952 + 492 = 3444
Step 8: 3444 + 492 = 3936
Step 9: 3936 + 492 = 4428
Step 10: 4428 + 492 = 4920
Step 11: 4920 + 492 = 5412
Step 12: 5412 + 492 = 5904

So, 492*12 = 5904
