Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 788. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 16. So, we're going to take the number 788 and add it to itself 16 times.
Step 1: 0 + 788 = 788
Step 2: 788 + 788 = 1576
Step 3: 1576 + 788 = 2364
Step 4: 2364 + 788 = 3152
Step 5: 3152 + 788 = 3940
Step 6: 3940 + 788 = 4728
Step 7: 4728 + 788 = 5516
Step 8: 5516 + 788 = 6304
Step 9: 6304 + 788 = 7092
Step 10: 7092 + 788 = 7880
Step 11: 7880 + 788 = 8668
Step 12: 8668 + 788 = 9456
Step 13: 9456 + 788 = 10244
Step 14: 10244 + 788 = 11032
Step 15: 11032 + 788 = 11820
Step 16: 11820 + 788 = 12608

So, 788*16 = 12608
