OK, let's crack this. We're given 396 and our task is to multiply it by 8. Essentially, we'll be adding 396 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 396 = 396
Step 2: 396 + 396 = 792
Step 3: 792 + 396 = 1188
Step 4: 1188 + 396 = 1584
Step 5: 1584 + 396 = 1980
Step 6: 1980 + 396 = 2376
Step 7: 2376 + 396 = 2772
Step 8: 2772 + 396 = 3168

So, 396*8 = 3168
