Step 5: 2404 + 601 = 3005
Step 6: 3005 + 601 = 3606
Step 7: 3606 + 601 = 4207
Step 8: 4207 + 601 = 4808
Step 9: 4808 + 601 = 5409
Step 10: 5409 + 601 = 6010
Step 11: 6010 + 601 = 6611
Step 12: 6611 + 601 = 7212
Step 13: 7212 + 601 = 7813
Step 14: 7813 + 601 = 8414
Step 15: 8414 + 601 = 9015
Step 16: 9015 + 601 = 9616
Step 17: 9616 + 601 = 10217
Step 18: 10217 + 601 = 10818
Step 19: 10818 + 601 = 11419
Step 20: 11419 + 601 = 12020
Step 21: 12020 + 601 = 12621
Step 22: 12621 + 601 = 13222
Step 23: 13222 + 601 = 13823
Step 24: 13823 + 601 = 14424
Step 25: 14424 + 601 = 15025
Step 26: 15025 + 601 = 15626
Step 27: 15626 + 601 = 16227
Step 28: 16227 + 601 = 16828
Step 29: 16828 + 601 = 17429
Step 30: 17429 + 601 = 18030
Step 31: 18030 + 601 = 18631
Step 32: 18631 + 601 = 19232
Step 33: 19232 + 601 = 19833
Step 34: 19833 + 601 = 20434
Step 35: 20434 + 601 = 21035
Step 36: 21035 + 601 = 21636
Step 37: 21636 + 601 = 22237
Step 38: 22237 + 601 = 22838
Step 39: 22838 + 601 = 23439
Step 40: 23439 + 601 = 24040
Step 41: 24040 + 601 = 24641
Step 42: 24641 + 601 = 25242
Step 43: 25242 + 601 = 25843
Step 44: 25843 + 601 = 26444
Step 45: 26444 + 601 = 27045
Step 46: 27045 + 601 = 27646
Step 47: 27646 + 601 = 28247
Step 48: 28247 + 601 = 28848

So, 601*48 = 28848
