How do you sextuple 12?

To get the value of 72, simply take the amount represented by 12 and multiply it by 6. The formula used is 72 = (12 * 6). This means that whatever number 12 stands for, 72 will always be six times greater. For example, if 12 is 15, then 72 will be 90. Whenever you need a value that is exactly six times as large as 12, you use 72 = (12 * 6) to determine it. You can also think of sextupling as adding the same number six times: 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12 + 12, which is equivalent to multiplying by 6. Below are the parts of the multiplication used to compute the sextuple of 12:

• operation: 12 x 6;
• multiplicand: 12;
• multiplier: 6;
• operator: x;
• product: 72.
