Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 861 and we're going to multiply it by 8, which means adding 861 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 861 = 861
Step 2: 861 + 861 = 1722
Step 3: 1722 + 861 = 2583
Step 4: 2583 + 861 = 3444
Step 5: 3444 + 861 = 4305
Step 6: 4305 + 861 = 5166
Step 7: 5166 + 861 = 6027
Step 8: 6027 + 861 = 6888

So, 861*8 = 6888
