Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 186. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 23. So, we're going to take the number 186 and add it to itself 23 times.
Step 1: 0 + 186 = 186
Step 2: 186 + 186 = 372
Step 3: 372 + 186 = 558
Step 4: 558 + 186 = 744
Step 5: 744 + 186 = 930
Step 6: 930 + 186 = 1116
Step 7: 1116 + 186 = 1302
Step 8: 1302 + 186 = 1488
Step 9: 1488 + 186 = 1674
Step 10: 1674 + 186 = 1860
Step 11: 1860 + 186 = 2046
Step 12: 2046 + 186 = 2232
Step 13: 2232 + 186 = 2418
Step 14: 2418 + 186 = 2604
Step 15: 2604 + 186 = 2790
Step 16: 2790 + 186 = 2976
Step 17: 2976 + 186 = 3162
Step 18: 3162 + 186 = 3348
Step 19: 3348 + 186 = 3534
Step 20: 3534 + 186 = 3720
Step 21: 3720 + 186 = 3906
Step 22: 3906 + 186 = 4092
Step 23: 4092 + 186 = 4278

So, 186*23 = 4278
