Question

I got the answer of 2C12H26 + 37O2 = 26CO+ 26H2O. I am working on confirming my balancing but I keep getting 52 Hydrogens on my product. For the reactant does the "2" from the "2C12" carry over to the Hydrogen making my reactant Hydrogen 52? Can you please help explain this style of balancing to me.
