Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 462. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 18. So, we're going to take the number 462 and add it to itself 18 times.
Step 1: 0 + 462 = 462
Step 2: 462 + 462 = 924
Step 3: 924 + 462 = 1386
Step 4: 1386 + 462 = 1848
Step 5: 1848 + 462 = 2310
Step 6: 2310 + 462 = 2772
Step 7: 2772 + 462 = 3234
Step 8: 3234 + 462 = 3696
Step 9: 3696 + 462 = 4158
Step 10: 4158 + 462 = 4620
Step 11: 4620 + 462 = 5082
Step 12: 5082 + 462 = 5544
Step 13: 5544 + 462 = 6006
Step 14: 6006 + 462 = 6468
Step 15: 6468 + 462 = 6930
Step 16: 6930 + 462 = 7392
Step 17: 7392 + 462 = 7854
Step 18: 7854 + 462 = 8316

So, 462*18 = 8316
