The two quantities we want to analyze are
[tex] 3254 \times 105 + 12 [/tex]
and
[tex] 1256 \times 105 [/tex]
We wonder if the first if 12 times the second. Let's compute them both to begin with:
[tex] 3254 \times 105 + 12 = 341682 [/tex]
and
[tex] 1256 \times 105 = 131880 [/tex]
So, the question is: is 341682 twelve times 131880? The check is very simple:
[tex] 131880 \times 12 = 1582560>341682 [/tex]
So the answer is no
