Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 543 and we're going to multiply it by 8, essentially adding 543 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 543 = 543
Step 2: 543 + 543 = 1086
Step 3: 1086 + 543 = 1629
Step 4: 1629 + 543 = 2172
Step 5: 2172 + 543 = 2715
Step 6: 2715 + 543 = 3258
Step 7: 3258 + 543 = 3801
Step 8: 3801 + 543 = 4344

So, 543*8 = 4344
