Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 312. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 12. So, we're going to take the number 312 and add it to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 312 = 312
Step 2: 312 + 312 = 624
Step 3: 624 + 312 = 936
Step 4: 936 + 312 = 1248
Step 5: 1248 + 312 = 1560
Step 6: 1560 + 312 = 1872
Step 7: 1872 + 312 = 2184
Step 8: 2184 + 312 = 2496
Step 9: 2496 + 312 = 2808
Step 10: 2808 + 312 = 3120
Step 11: 3120 + 312 = 3432
Step 12: 3432 + 312 = 3744

So, 312*12 = 3744
