3700 times 12

Steps to Solve

1. Set up the multiplication problem

We need to multiply 3700 by 12. This can be set up as:

$$ 3700 \times 12 $$

2. Break down the multiplication

To make the multiplication easier, we can break 3700 into its components:

$$ 3700 = 3700 = 3000 + 700 $$

So we can rewrite the multiplication as:

$$ (3000 + 700) \times 12 $$

3. Distribute the multiplication

Now, we can distribute 12 to both parts of the sum:

$$ 3000 \times 12 + 700 \times 12 $$

4. Calculate each multiplication

Now, we perform the calculations:

$$ 3000 \times 12 = 36000 $$

$$ 700 \times 12 = 8400 $$

5. Add the results together

Finally, we add the results from the two multiplications:

$$ 36000 + 8400 = 44400 $$
