Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 131. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 8. So, we're going to take the number 131 and add it to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 131 = 131
Step 2: 131 + 131 = 262
Step 3: 262 + 131 = 393
Step 4: 393 + 131 = 524
Step 5: 524 + 131 = 655
Step 6: 655 + 131 = 786
Step 7: 786 + 131 = 917
Step 8: 917 + 131 = 1048

So, 131*8 = 1048
