Answer 1

you can do it in base 10 because you know your multiplication table. To do it in base 12, you need to use a base-12 table.

So, get out your pencil and paper and make one up.

Or, if you have a unix system handy, run bc and use ibase=12 and obase=12. Then just enter your base-12 numbers and it will show the answer.
