Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 286 and we're going to multiply it by 8, which means adding 286 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 286 = 286
Step 2: 286 + 286 = 572
Step 3: 572 + 286 = 858
Step 4: 858 + 286 = 1144
Step 5: 1144 + 286 = 1430
Step 6: 1430 + 286 = 1716
Step 7: 1716 + 286 = 2002
Step 8: 2002 + 286 = 2288

So, 286*8 = 2288
