Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 217. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 27. So, we're going to take the number 217 and add it to itself 27 times.
Step 1: 0 + 217 = 217
Step 2: 217 + 217 = 434
Step 3: 434 + 217 = 651
Step 4: 651 + 217 = 868
Step 5: 868 + 217 = 1085
Step 6: 1085 + 217 = 1302
Step 7: 1302 + 217 = 1519
Step 8: 1519 + 217 = 1736
Step 9: 1736 + 217 = 1953
Step 10: 1953 + 217 = 2170
Step 11: 2170 + 217 = 2387
Step 12: 2387 + 217 = 2604
Step 13: 2604 + 217 = 2821
Step 14: 2821 + 217 = 3038
Step 15: 3038 + 217 = 3255
Step 16: 3255 + 217 = 3472
Step 17: 3472 + 217 = 3689
Step 18: 3689 + 217 = 3906
Step 19: 3906 + 217 = 4123
Step 20: 4123 + 217 = 4340
Step 21: 4340 + 217 = 4557
Step 22: 4557 + 217 = 4774
Step 23: 4774 + 217 = 4991
Step 24: 4991 + 217 = 5208
Step 25: 5208 + 217 = 5425
Step 26: 5425 + 217 = 5642
Step 27: 5642 + 217 = 5859

So, 217*27 = 5859
