Step 18: 3468 + 204 = 3672
Step 19: 3672 + 204 = 3876
Step 20: 3876 + 204 = 4080
Step 21: 4080 + 204 = 4284
Step 22: 4284 + 204 = 4488
Step 23: 4488 + 204 = 4692
Step 24: 4692 + 204 = 4896
Step 25: 4896 + 204 = 5100
Step 26: 5100 + 204 = 5304
Step 27: 5304 + 204 = 5508
Step 28: 5508 + 204 = 5712
Step 29: 5712 + 204 = 5916
Step 30: 5916 + 204 = 6120
Step 31: 6120 + 204 = 6324
Step 32: 6324 + 204 = 6528
Step 33: 6528 + 204 = 6732
Step 34: 6732 + 204 = 6936
Step 35: 6936 + 204 = 7140
Step 36: 7140 + 204 = 7344
Step 37: 7344 + 204 = 7548
Step 38: 7548 + 204 = 7752
Step 39: 7752 + 204 = 7956
Step 40: 7956 + 204 = 8160
Step 41: 8160 + 204 = 8364
Step 42: 8364 + 204 = 8568
Step 43: 8568 + 204 = 8772
Step 44: 8772 + 204 = 8976
Step 45: 8976 + 204 = 9180
Step 46: 9180 + 204 = 9384
Step 47: 9384 + 204 = 9588
Step 48: 9588 + 204 = 9792

So, 204*48 = 9792
