OK, let's crack this. We're given 699 and our task is to multiply it by 12. Essentially, we'll be adding 699 to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 699 = 699
Step 2: 699 + 699 = 1398
Step 3: 1398 + 699 = 2097
Step 4: 2097 + 699 = 2796
Step 5: 2796 + 699 = 3495
Step 6: 3495 + 699 = 4194
Step 7: 4194 + 699 = 4893
Step 8: 4893 + 699 = 5592
Step 9: 5592 + 699 = 6291
Step 10: 6291 + 699 = 6990
Step 11: 6990 + 699 = 7689
Step 12: 7689 + 699 = 8388

So, 699*12 = 8388
