Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 997 and we're going to multiply it by 6, which means adding 997 to itself 6 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

So, 997*6 = 5982
