OK, let's crack this. We're given 229 and our task is to multiply it by 7. Essentially, we'll be adding 229 to itself 7 times.
Step 1: 0 + 229 = 229
Step 2: 229 + 229 = 458
Step 3: 458 + 229 = 687
Step 4: 687 + 229 = 916
Step 5: 916 + 229 = 1145
Step 6: 1145 + 229 = 1374
Step 7: 1374 + 229 = 1603

So, 229*7 = 1603
