Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 596. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 7. So, we're going to take the number 596 and add it to itself 7 times.
Step 1: 0 + 596 = 596
Step 2: 596 + 596 = 1192
Step 3: 1192 + 596 = 1788
Step 4: 1788 + 596 = 2384
Step 5: 2384 + 596 = 2980
Step 6: 2980 + 596 = 3576
Step 7: 3576 + 596 = 4172

So, 596*7 = 4172
