Step 13: 10260 + 855 = 11115
Step 14: 11115 + 855 = 11970
Step 15: 11970 + 855 = 12825
Step 16: 12825 + 855 = 13680
Step 17: 13680 + 855 = 14535
Step 18: 14535 + 855 = 15390
Step 19: 15390 + 855 = 16245
Step 20: 16245 + 855 = 17100
Step 21: 17100 + 855 = 17955
Step 22: 17955 + 855 = 18810
Step 23: 18810 + 855 = 19665
Step 24: 19665 + 855 = 20520
Step 25: 20520 + 855 = 21375
Step 26: 21375 + 855 = 22230
Step 27: 22230 + 855 = 23085
Step 28: 23085 + 855 = 23940
Step 29: 23940 + 855 = 24795
Step 30: 24795 + 855 = 25650
Step 31: 25650 + 855 = 26505
Step 32: 26505 + 855 = 27360
Step 33: 27360 + 855 = 28215
Step 34: 28215 + 855 = 29070
Step 35: 29070 + 855 = 29925
Step 36: 29925 + 855 = 30780
Step 37: 30780 + 855 = 31635
Step 38: 31635 + 855 = 32490
Step 39: 32490 + 855 = 33345
Step 40: 33345 + 855 = 34200
Step 41: 34200 + 855 = 35055
Step 42: 35055 + 855 = 35910
Step 43: 35910 + 855 = 36765
Step 44: 36765 + 855 = 37620
Step 45: 37620 + 855 = 38475
Step 46: 38475 + 855 = 39330
Step 47: 39330 + 855 = 40185
Step 48: 40185 + 855 = 41040

So, 855*48 = 41040
