Sure thing! We've got 969 and we're gonna multiply it by 9. That's the same as adding 969 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 969 = 969
Step 2: 969 + 969 = 1938
Step 3: 1938 + 969 = 2907
Step 4: 2907 + 969 = 3876
Step 5: 3876 + 969 = 4845
Step 6: 4845 + 969 = 5814
Step 7: 5814 + 969 = 6783
Step 8: 6783 + 969 = 7752
Step 9: 7752 + 969 = 8721

So, 969*9 = 8721
