To find the equivalent number on the 12-hour clock, we need to add or subtract 12 based on whether the given number is greater than or equal to 12 or less than 12 respectively. In this case, since the given number (-116) is less than 12, we need to add 12 to it. 
-116 + 12 = -104 
Since -104 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-104 + 12 = -92 
Since -92 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-92 + 12 = -80 
Since -80 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-80 + 12 = -68 
Since -68 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-68 + 12 = -56 
Since -56 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-56 + 12 = -44 
Since -44 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-44 + 12 = -32 
Since -32 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-32 + 12 = -20 
Since -20 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-20 + 12 = -8 
Since -8 is still negative, we add 12 again. 
-8 + 12 = 4 
Therefore, the equivalent number on the 12-hour clock is 4.
