Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 643 and we're going to multiply it by 8, which means adding 643 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 643 = 643
Step 2: 643 + 643 = 1286
Step 3: 1286 + 643 = 1929
Step 4: 1929 + 643 = 2572
Step 5: 2572 + 643 = 3215
Step 6: 3215 + 643 = 3858
Step 7: 3858 + 643 = 4501
Step 8: 4501 + 643 = 5144

So, 643*8 = 5144
