Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 988. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 7. So, we're going to take the number 988 and add it to itself 7 times.
Step 1: 0 + 988 = 988
Step 2: 988 + 988 = 1976
Step 3: 1976 + 988 = 2964
Step 4: 2964 + 988 = 3952
Step 5: 3952 + 988 = 4940
Step 6: 4940 + 988 = 5928
Step 7: 5928 + 988 = 6916

So, 988*7 = 6916
