Let's get this math done. We have 289 and we're going to multiply it by 17. This is the same as taking 289 and adding it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 289 = 289
Step 2: 289 + 289 = 578
Step 3: 578 + 289 = 867
Step 4: 867 + 289 = 1156
Step 5: 1156 + 289 = 1445
Step 6: 1445 + 289 = 1734
Step 7: 1734 + 289 = 2023
Step 8: 2023 + 289 = 2312
Step 9: 2312 + 289 = 2601
Step 10: 2601 + 289 = 2890
Step 11: 2890 + 289 = 3179
Step 12: 3179 + 289 = 3468
Step 13: 3468 + 289 = 3757
Step 14: 3757 + 289 = 4046
Step 15: 4046 + 289 = 4335
Step 16: 4335 + 289 = 4624
Step 17: 4624 + 289 = 4913

So, 289*17 = 4913
