OK, let's crack this. We're given 88 and our task is to multiply it by 17. Essentially, we'll be adding 88 to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 88 = 88
Step 2: 88 + 88 = 176
Step 3: 176 + 88 = 264
Step 4: 264 + 88 = 352
Step 5: 352 + 88 = 440
Step 6: 440 + 88 = 528
Step 7: 528 + 88 = 616
Step 8: 616 + 88 = 704
Step 9: 704 + 88 = 792
Step 10: 792 + 88 = 880
Step 11: 880 + 88 = 968
Step 12: 968 + 88 = 1056
Step 13: 1056 + 88 = 1144
Step 14: 1144 + 88 = 1232
Step 15: 1232 + 88 = 1320
Step 16: 1320 + 88 = 1408
Step 17: 1408 + 88 = 1496

So, 88*17 = 1496
