OK, let's crack this. We're given 14 and our task is to multiply it by 18. Essentially, we'll be adding 14 to itself 18 times.
Step 1: 0 + 14 = 14
Step 2: 14 + 14 = 28
Step 3: 28 + 14 = 42
Step 4: 42 + 14 = 56
Step 5: 56 + 14 = 70
Step 6: 70 + 14 = 84
Step 7: 84 + 14 = 98
Step 8: 98 + 14 = 112
Step 9: 112 + 14 = 126
Step 10: 126 + 14 = 140
Step 11: 140 + 14 = 154
Step 12: 154 + 14 = 168
Step 13: 168 + 14 = 182
Step 14: 182 + 14 = 196
Step 15: 196 + 14 = 210
Step 16: 210 + 14 = 224
Step 17: 224 + 14 = 238
Step 18: 238 + 14 = 252

So, 14*18 = 252
