OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 177 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means we add 177 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 177 = 177
Step 2: 177 + 177 = 354
Step 3: 354 + 177 = 531
Step 4: 531 + 177 = 708
Step 5: 708 + 177 = 885
Step 6: 885 + 177 = 1062
Step 7: 1062 + 177 = 1239
Step 8: 1239 + 177 = 1416
Step 9: 1416 + 177 = 1593

So, 177*9 = 1593
