Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 159 and we're going to multiply it by 16, essentially adding 159 to itself 16 times.
Step 1: 0 + 159 = 159
Step 2: 159 + 159 = 318
Step 3: 318 + 159 = 477
Step 4: 477 + 159 = 636
Step 5: 636 + 159 = 795
Step 6: 795 + 159 = 954
Step 7: 954 + 159 = 1113
Step 8: 1113 + 159 = 1272
Step 9: 1272 + 159 = 1431
Step 10: 1431 + 159 = 1590
Step 11: 1590 + 159 = 1749
Step 12: 1749 + 159 = 1908
Step 13: 1908 + 159 = 2067
Step 14: 2067 + 159 = 2226
Step 15: 2226 + 159 = 2385
Step 16: 2385 + 159 = 2544

So, 159*16 = 2544
