Let's get this math done. We have 523 and we're going to multiply it by 9. This is the same as taking 523 and adding it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 523 = 523
Step 2: 523 + 523 = 1046
Step 3: 1046 + 523 = 1569
Step 4: 1569 + 523 = 2092
Step 5: 2092 + 523 = 2615
Step 6: 2615 + 523 = 3138
Step 7: 3138 + 523 = 3661
Step 8: 3661 + 523 = 4184
Step 9: 4184 + 523 = 4707

So, 523*9 = 4707
