Well since 12 can be divided by 6, then the number being divided by 12 can also be divided by 6.

It's best to imagine a big pile of stuff you have to break up into 12 little piles all exactly the same size. If you can do that then the pile is divisible by 12. Now you have 12 piles. Now arrange the piles in pairs. You now have six pairs of piles. Push each pair together into one pile. Now you have six piles and so the original big pile is divisible by six.
