Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 282. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 40. So, we're going to take the number 282 and add it to itself 40 times.
Step 1: 0 + 282 = 282
Step 2: 282 + 282 = 564
Step 3: 564 + 282 = 846
Step 4: 846 + 282 = 1128
Step 5: 1128 + 282 = 1410
Step 6: 1410 + 282 = 1692
Step 7: 1692 + 282 = 1974
Step 8: 1974 + 282 = 2256
Step 9: 2256 + 282 = 2538
Step 10: 2538 + 282 = 2820
Step 11: 2820 + 282 = 3102
Step 12: 3102 + 282 = 3384
Step 13: 3384 + 282 = 3666
Step 14: 3666 + 282 = 3948
Step 15: 3948 + 282 = 4230
Step 16: 4230 + 282 = 4512
Step 17: 4512 + 282 = 4794
Step 18: 4794 + 282 = 5076
Step 19: 5076 + 282 = 5358
Step 20: 5358 + 282 = 5640
Step 21: 5640 + 282 = 5922
Step 22: 5922 + 282 = 6204
Step 23: 6204 + 282 = 6486
Step 24: 6486 + 282 = 6768
Step 25: 6768 + 282 = 7050
Step 26: 7050 + 282 = 7332
Step 27: 7332 + 282 = 7614
Step 28: 7614 + 282 = 7896
Step 29: 7896 + 282 = 8178
Step 30: 8178 + 282 = 8460
Step 31: 8460 + 282 = 8742
Step 32: 8742 + 282 = 9024
Step 33: 9024 + 282 = 9306
Step 34: 9306 + 282 = 9588
Step 35: 9588 + 282 = 9870
Step 36: 9870 + 282 = 10152
Step 37: 10152 + 282 = 10434
Step 38: 10434 + 282 = 10716
Step 39: 10716 + 282 = 10998
Step 40: 10998 + 282 = 11280

So, 282*40 = 11280
