There is no such number.
Suppose x were such a number. Then consider (x+12000)/2, the number halfway between x and 12000. It is easy to show that
- it is less than 12000 and
- it is closer to 12000 than x was.
So x could not have been the solution.
But using the same process you can find the number halfway between this number and 12000 which will still be less than 12000 and nearer still. This can go on forever, and you will never reach the closest.

What is the largest multiple of 9 less than 12000?
11997 One calculation. 12000 is 9 x 1333.33 recurring. The largest number as a multiple of 9 which is less than 12000 would be that number which is one decimal place lower than the above number. That is 1333.333.......n2. There would be an infinite number of decimal places before the 2 I leave the calculation as an exercise to the student
