Sure thing! We've got 979 and we're gonna multiply it by 8. That's the same as adding 979 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 979 = 979
Step 2: 979 + 979 = 1958
Step 3: 1958 + 979 = 2937
Step 4: 2937 + 979 = 3916
Step 5: 3916 + 979 = 4895
Step 6: 4895 + 979 = 5874
Step 7: 5874 + 979 = 6853
Step 8: 6853 + 979 = 7832

So, 979*8 = 7832
