OK, let's crack this. We're given 101 and our task is to multiply it by 12. Essentially, we'll be adding 101 to itself 12 times.
Step 1: 0 + 101 = 101
Step 2: 101 + 101 = 202
Step 3: 202 + 101 = 303
Step 4: 303 + 101 = 404
Step 5: 404 + 101 = 505
Step 6: 505 + 101 = 606
Step 7: 606 + 101 = 707
Step 8: 707 + 101 = 808
Step 9: 808 + 101 = 909
Step 10: 909 + 101 = 1010
Step 11: 1010 + 101 = 1111
Step 12: 1111 + 101 = 1212

So, 101*12 = 1212
