Let's get this math done. We have 481 and we're going to multiply it by 26. This is the same as taking 481 and adding it to itself 26 times.
Step 1: 0 + 481 = 481
Step 2: 481 + 481 = 962
Step 3: 962 + 481 = 1443
Step 4: 1443 + 481 = 1924
Step 5: 1924 + 481 = 2405
Step 6: 2405 + 481 = 2886
Step 7: 2886 + 481 = 3367
Step 8: 3367 + 481 = 3848
Step 9: 3848 + 481 = 4329
Step 10: 4329 + 481 = 4810
Step 11: 4810 + 481 = 5291
Step 12: 5291 + 481 = 5772
Step 13: 5772 + 481 = 6253
Step 14: 6253 + 481 = 6734
Step 15: 6734 + 481 = 7215
Step 16: 7215 + 481 = 7696
Step 17: 7696 + 481 = 8177
Step 18: 8177 + 481 = 8658
Step 19: 8658 + 481 = 9139
Step 20: 9139 + 481 = 9620
Step 21: 9620 + 481 = 10101
Step 22: 10101 + 481 = 10582
Step 23: 10582 + 481 = 11063
Step 24: 11063 + 481 = 11544
Step 25: 11544 + 481 = 12025
Step 26: 12025 + 481 = 12506

So, 481*26 = 12506
