Step 18: 3179 + 187 = 3366
Step 19: 3366 + 187 = 3553
Step 20: 3553 + 187 = 3740
Step 21: 3740 + 187 = 3927
Step 22: 3927 + 187 = 4114
Step 23: 4114 + 187 = 4301
Step 24: 4301 + 187 = 4488
Step 25: 4488 + 187 = 4675
Step 26: 4675 + 187 = 4862
Step 27: 4862 + 187 = 5049
Step 28: 5049 + 187 = 5236
Step 29: 5236 + 187 = 5423
Step 30: 5423 + 187 = 5610
Step 31: 5610 + 187 = 5797
Step 32: 5797 + 187 = 5984
Step 33: 5984 + 187 = 6171
Step 34: 6171 + 187 = 6358
Step 35: 6358 + 187 = 6545
Step 36: 6545 + 187 = 6732
Step 37: 6732 + 187 = 6919
Step 38: 6919 + 187 = 7106
Step 39: 7106 + 187 = 7293
Step 40: 7293 + 187 = 7480
Step 41: 7480 + 187 = 7667
Step 42: 7667 + 187 = 7854
Step 43: 7854 + 187 = 8041
Step 44: 8041 + 187 = 8228
Step 45: 8228 + 187 = 8415
Step 46: 8415 + 187 = 8602
Step 47: 8602 + 187 = 8789
Step 48: 8789 + 187 = 8976
Step 49: 8976 + 187 = 9163
Step 50: 9163 + 187 = 9350
Step 51: 9350 + 187 = 9537
Step 52: 9537 + 187 = 9724
Step 53: 9724 + 187 = 9911
Step 54: 9911 + 187 = 10098
Step 55: 10098 + 187 = 10285

So, 187*55 = 10285
