Sure thing! We've got 172 and we're gonna multiply it by 12. That's the same as adding 172 to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 172 = 172
Step 2: 172 + 172 = 344
Step 3: 344 + 172 = 516
Step 4: 516 + 172 = 688
Step 5: 688 + 172 = 860
Step 6: 860 + 172 = 1032
Step 7: 1032 + 172 = 1204
Step 8: 1204 + 172 = 1376
Step 9: 1376 + 172 = 1548
Step 10: 1548 + 172 = 1720
Step 11: 1720 + 172 = 1892
Step 12: 1892 + 172 = 2064

So, 172*12 = 2064
