Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 971. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 22. So, we're going to take the number 971 and add it to itself 22 times.
Step 1: 0 + 971 = 971
Step 2: 971 + 971 = 1942
Step 3: 1942 + 971 = 2913
Step 4: 2913 + 971 = 3884
Step 5: 3884 + 971 = 4855
Step 6: 4855 + 971 = 5826
Step 7: 5826 + 971 = 6797
Step 8: 6797 + 971 = 7768
Step 9: 7768 + 971 = 8739
Step 10: 8739 + 971 = 9710
Step 11: 9710 + 971 = 10681
Step 12: 10681 + 971 = 11652
Step 13: 11652 + 971 = 12623
Step 14: 12623 + 971 = 13594
Step 15: 13594 + 971 = 14565
Step 16: 14565 + 971 = 15536
Step 17: 15536 + 971 = 16507
Step 18: 16507 + 971 = 17478
Step 19: 17478 + 971 = 18449
Step 20: 18449 + 971 = 19420
Step 21: 19420 + 971 = 20391
Step 22: 20391 + 971 = 21362

So, 971*22 = 21362
