Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 257 and we're going to multiply it by 33, which means adding 257 to itself 33 times.
Step 1: 0 + 257 = 257
Step 2: 257 + 257 = 514
Step 3: 514 + 257 = 771
Step 4: 771 + 257 = 1028
Step 5: 1028 + 257 = 1285
Step 6: 1285 + 257 = 1542
Step 7: 1542 + 257 = 1799
Step 8: 1799 + 257 = 2056
Step 9: 2056 + 257 = 2313
Step 10: 2313 + 257 = 2570
Step 11: 2570 + 257 = 2827
Step 12: 2827 + 257 = 3084
Step 13: 3084 + 257 = 3341
Step 14: 3341 + 257 = 3598
Step 15: 3598 + 257 = 3855
Step 16: 3855 + 257 = 4112
Step 17: 4112 + 257 = 4369
Step 18: 4369 + 257 = 4626
Step 19: 4626 + 257 = 4883
Step 20: 4883 + 257 = 5140
Step 21: 5140 + 257 = 5397
Step 22: 5397 + 257 = 5654
Step 23: 5654 + 257 = 5911
Step 24: 5911 + 257 = 6168
Step 25: 6168 + 257 = 6425
Step 26: 6425 + 257 = 6682
Step 27: 6682 + 257 = 6939
Step 28: 6939 + 257 = 7196
Step 29: 7196 + 257 = 7453
Step 30: 7453 + 257 = 7710
Step 31: 7710 + 257 = 7967
Step 32: 7967 + 257 = 8224
Step 33: 8224 + 257 = 8481

So, 257*33 = 8481
