Let's get this math done. We have 840 and we're going to multiply it by 17. This is the same as taking 840 and adding it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 840 = 840
Step 2: 840 + 840 = 1680
Step 3: 1680 + 840 = 2520
Step 4: 2520 + 840 = 3360
Step 5: 3360 + 840 = 4200
Step 6: 4200 + 840 = 5040
Step 7: 5040 + 840 = 5880
Step 8: 5880 + 840 = 6720
Step 9: 6720 + 840 = 7560
Step 10: 7560 + 840 = 8400
Step 11: 8400 + 840 = 9240
Step 12: 9240 + 840 = 10080
Step 13: 10080 + 840 = 10920
Step 14: 10920 + 840 = 11760
Step 15: 11760 + 840 = 12600
Step 16: 12600 + 840 = 13440
Step 17: 13440 + 840 = 14280

So, 840*17 = 14280
