The two quantities we want to analyze are


3254 * 105 + 12

and


1256 * 105

We wonder if the first if 12 times the second. Let's compute them both to begin with:


3254 * 105 + 12 = 341682

and


1256 * 105 = 131880

So, the question is: is 341682 twelve times 131880? The check is very simple:


131880 * 12 = 1582560>341682

So the answer is no
