OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 409 and we're going to multiply it by 41, which means we add 409 to itself 41 times.
Step 1: 0 + 409 = 409
Step 2: 409 + 409 = 818
Step 3: 818 + 409 = 1227
Step 4: 1227 + 409 = 1636
Step 5: 1636 + 409 = 2045
Step 6: 2045 + 409 = 2454
Step 7: 2454 + 409 = 2863
Step 8: 2863 + 409 = 3272
Step 9: 3272 + 409 = 3681
Step 10: 3681 + 409 = 4090
Step 11: 4090 + 409 = 4499
Step 12: 4499 + 409 = 4908
Step 13: 4908 + 409 = 5317
Step 14: 5317 + 409 = 5726
Step 15: 5726 + 409 = 6135
Step 16: 6135 + 409 = 6544
Step 17: 6544 + 409 = 6953
Step 18: 6953 + 409 = 7362
Step 19: 7362 + 409 = 7771
Step 20: 7771 + 409 = 8180
Step 21: 8180 + 409 = 8589
Step 22: 8589 + 409 = 8998
Step 23: 8998 + 409 = 9407
Step 24: 9407 + 409 = 9816
Step 25: 9816 + 409 = 10225
Step 26: 10225 + 409 = 10634
Step 27: 10634 + 409 = 11043
Step 28: 11043 + 409 = 11452
Step 29: 11452 + 409 = 11861
Step 30: 11861 + 409 = 12270
Step 31: 12270 + 409 = 12679
Step 32: 12679 + 409 = 13088
Step 33: 13088 + 409 = 13497
Step 34: 13497 + 409 = 13906
Step 35: 13906 + 409 = 14315
Step 36: 14315 + 409 = 14724
Step 37: 14724 + 409 = 15133
Step 38: 15133 + 409 = 15542
Step 39: 15542 + 409 = 15951
Step 40: 15951 + 409 = 16360
Step 41: 16360 + 409 = 16769

So, 409*41 = 16769
