Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 997 and we're going to multiply it by 19, which means adding 997 to itself 19 times.
Step 1: 0 + 997 = 997
Step 2: 997 + 997 = 1994
Step 3: 1994 + 997 = 2991
Step 4: 2991 + 997 = 3988
Step 5: 3988 + 997 = 4985
Step 6: 4985 + 997 = 5982
Step 7: 5982 + 997 = 6979
Step 8: 6979 + 997 = 7976
Step 9: 7976 + 997 = 8973
Step 10: 8973 + 997 = 9970
Step 11: 9970 + 997 = 10967
Step 12: 10967 + 997 = 11964
Step 13: 11964 + 997 = 12961
Step 14: 12961 + 997 = 13958
Step 15: 13958 + 997 = 14955
Step 16: 14955 + 997 = 15952
Step 17: 15952 + 997 = 16949
Step 18: 16949 + 997 = 17946
Step 19: 17946 + 997 = 18943

So, 997*19 = 18943
