Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 842. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 17. So, we're going to take the number 842 and add it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 842 = 842
Step 2: 842 + 842 = 1684
Step 3: 1684 + 842 = 2526
Step 4: 2526 + 842 = 3368
Step 5: 3368 + 842 = 4210
Step 6: 4210 + 842 = 5052
Step 7: 5052 + 842 = 5894
Step 8: 5894 + 842 = 6736
Step 9: 6736 + 842 = 7578
Step 10: 7578 + 842 = 8420
Step 11: 8420 + 842 = 9262
Step 12: 9262 + 842 = 10104
Step 13: 10104 + 842 = 10946
Step 14: 10946 + 842 = 11788
Step 15: 11788 + 842 = 12630
Step 16: 12630 + 842 = 13472
Step 17: 13472 + 842 = 14314

So, 842*17 = 14314
