Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 154 and we're going to multiply it by 8, essentially adding 154 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 154 = 154
Step 2: 154 + 154 = 308
Step 3: 308 + 154 = 462
Step 4: 462 + 154 = 616
Step 5: 616 + 154 = 770
Step 6: 770 + 154 = 924
Step 7: 924 + 154 = 1078
Step 8: 1078 + 154 = 1232

So, 154*8 = 1232
