Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 249 and we're going to multiply it by 41, essentially adding 249 to itself 41 times.
Step 1: 0 + 249 = 249
Step 2: 249 + 249 = 498
Step 3: 498 + 249 = 747
Step 4: 747 + 249 = 996
Step 5: 996 + 249 = 1245
Step 6: 1245 + 249 = 1494
Step 7: 1494 + 249 = 1743
Step 8: 1743 + 249 = 1992
Step 9: 1992 + 249 = 2241
Step 10: 2241 + 249 = 2490
Step 11: 2490 + 249 = 2739
Step 12: 2739 + 249 = 2988
Step 13: 2988 + 249 = 3237
Step 14: 3237 + 249 = 3486
Step 15: 3486 + 249 = 3735
Step 16: 3735 + 249 = 3984
Step 17: 3984 + 249 = 4233
Step 18: 4233 + 249 = 4482
Step 19: 4482 + 249 = 4731
Step 20: 4731 + 249 = 4980
Step 21: 4980 + 249 = 5229
Step 22: 5229 + 249 = 5478
Step 23: 5478 + 249 = 5727
Step 24: 5727 + 249 = 5976
Step 25: 5976 + 249 = 6225
Step 26: 6225 + 249 = 6474
Step 27: 6474 + 249 = 6723
Step 28: 6723 + 249 = 6972
Step 29: 6972 + 249 = 7221
Step 30: 7221 + 249 = 7470
Step 31: 7470 + 249 = 7719
Step 32: 7719 + 249 = 7968
Step 33: 7968 + 249 = 8217
Step 34: 8217 + 249 = 8466
Step 35: 8466 + 249 = 8715
Step 36: 8715 + 249 = 8964
Step 37: 8964 + 249 = 9213
Step 38: 9213 + 249 = 9462
Step 39: 9462 + 249 = 9711
Step 40: 9711 + 249 = 9960
Step 41: 9960 + 249 = 10209

So, 249*41 = 10209
