Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 897. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 16. So, we're going to take the number 897 and add it to itself 16 times.
Step 1: 0 + 897 = 897
Step 2: 897 + 897 = 1794
Step 3: 1794 + 897 = 2691
Step 4: 2691 + 897 = 3588
Step 5: 3588 + 897 = 4485
Step 6: 4485 + 897 = 5382
Step 7: 5382 + 897 = 6279
Step 8: 6279 + 897 = 7176
Step 9: 7176 + 897 = 8073
Step 10: 8073 + 897 = 8970
Step 11: 8970 + 897 = 9867
Step 12: 9867 + 897 = 10764
Step 13: 10764 + 897 = 11661
Step 14: 11661 + 897 = 12558
Step 15: 12558 + 897 = 13455
Step 16: 13455 + 897 = 14352

So, 897*16 = 14352
