Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 857 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means adding 857 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 857 = 857
Step 2: 857 + 857 = 1714
Step 3: 1714 + 857 = 2571
Step 4: 2571 + 857 = 3428
Step 5: 3428 + 857 = 4285
Step 6: 4285 + 857 = 5142
Step 7: 5142 + 857 = 5999
Step 8: 5999 + 857 = 6856
Step 9: 6856 + 857 = 7713

So, 857*9 = 7713
