OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 558 and we're going to multiply it by 12, which means we add 558 to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 558 = 558
Step 2: 558 + 558 = 1116
Step 3: 1116 + 558 = 1674
Step 4: 1674 + 558 = 2232
Step 5: 2232 + 558 = 2790
Step 6: 2790 + 558 = 3348
Step 7: 3348 + 558 = 3906
Step 8: 3906 + 558 = 4464
Step 9: 4464 + 558 = 5022
Step 10: 5022 + 558 = 5580
Step 11: 5580 + 558 = 6138
Step 12: 6138 + 558 = 6696

So, 558*12 = 6696
