OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 296 and we're going to multiply it by 30, which means we add 296 to itself 30 times.
Step 1: 0 + 296 = 296
Step 2: 296 + 296 = 592
Step 3: 592 + 296 = 888
Step 4: 888 + 296 = 1184
Step 5: 1184 + 296 = 1480
Step 6: 1480 + 296 = 1776
Step 7: 1776 + 296 = 2072
Step 8: 2072 + 296 = 2368
Step 9: 2368 + 296 = 2664
Step 10: 2664 + 296 = 2960
Step 11: 2960 + 296 = 3256
Step 12: 3256 + 296 = 3552
Step 13: 3552 + 296 = 3848
Step 14: 3848 + 296 = 4144
Step 15: 4144 + 296 = 4440
Step 16: 4440 + 296 = 4736
Step 17: 4736 + 296 = 5032
Step 18: 5032 + 296 = 5328
Step 19: 5328 + 296 = 5624
Step 20: 5624 + 296 = 5920
Step 21: 5920 + 296 = 6216
Step 22: 6216 + 296 = 6512
Step 23: 6512 + 296 = 6808
Step 24: 6808 + 296 = 7104
Step 25: 7104 + 296 = 7400
Step 26: 7400 + 296 = 7696
Step 27: 7696 + 296 = 7992
Step 28: 7992 + 296 = 8288
Step 29: 8288 + 296 = 8584
Step 30: 8584 + 296 = 8880

So, 296*30 = 8880
