OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 646 and we're going to multiply it by 38, which means we add 646 to itself 38 times.
Step 1: 0 + 646 = 646
Step 2: 646 + 646 = 1292
Step 3: 1292 + 646 = 1938
Step 4: 1938 + 646 = 2584
Step 5: 2584 + 646 = 3230
Step 6: 3230 + 646 = 3876
Step 7: 3876 + 646 = 4522
Step 8: 4522 + 646 = 5168
Step 9: 5168 + 646 = 5814
Step 10: 5814 + 646 = 6460
Step 11: 6460 + 646 = 7106
Step 12: 7106 + 646 = 7752
Step 13: 7752 + 646 = 8398
Step 14: 8398 + 646 = 9044
Step 15: 9044 + 646 = 9690
Step 16: 9690 + 646 = 10336
Step 17: 10336 + 646 = 10982
Step 18: 10982 + 646 = 11628
Step 19: 11628 + 646 = 12274
Step 20: 12274 + 646 = 12920
Step 21: 12920 + 646 = 13566
Step 22: 13566 + 646 = 14212
Step 23: 14212 + 646 = 14858
Step 24: 14858 + 646 = 15504
Step 25: 15504 + 646 = 16150
Step 26: 16150 + 646 = 16796
Step 27: 16796 + 646 = 17442
Step 28: 17442 + 646 = 18088
Step 29: 18088 + 646 = 18734
Step 30: 18734 + 646 = 19380
Step 31: 19380 + 646 = 20026
Step 32: 20026 + 646 = 20672
Step 33: 20672 + 646 = 21318
Step 34: 21318 + 646 = 21964
Step 35: 21964 + 646 = 22610
Step 36: 22610 + 646 = 23256
Step 37: 23256 + 646 = 23902
Step 38: 23902 + 646 = 24548

So, 646*38 = 24548
