OK, let's crack this. We're given 292 and our task is to multiply it by 17. Essentially, we'll be adding 292 to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 292 = 292
Step 2: 292 + 292 = 584
Step 3: 584 + 292 = 876
Step 4: 876 + 292 = 1168
Step 5: 1168 + 292 = 1460
Step 6: 1460 + 292 = 1752
Step 7: 1752 + 292 = 2044
Step 8: 2044 + 292 = 2336
Step 9: 2336 + 292 = 2628
Step 10: 2628 + 292 = 2920
Step 11: 2920 + 292 = 3212
Step 12: 3212 + 292 = 3504
Step 13: 3504 + 292 = 3796
Step 14: 3796 + 292 = 4088
Step 15: 4088 + 292 = 4380
Step 16: 4380 + 292 = 4672
Step 17: 4672 + 292 = 4964

So, 292*17 = 4964
