Let's get this math done. We have 697 and we're going to multiply it by 34. This is the same as taking 697 and adding it to itself 34 times.
Step 1: 0 + 697 = 697
Step 2: 697 + 697 = 1394
Step 3: 1394 + 697 = 2091
Step 4: 2091 + 697 = 2788
Step 5: 2788 + 697 = 3485
Step 6: 3485 + 697 = 4182
Step 7: 4182 + 697 = 4879
Step 8: 4879 + 697 = 5576
Step 9: 5576 + 697 = 6273
Step 10: 6273 + 697 = 6970
Step 11: 6970 + 697 = 7667
Step 12: 7667 + 697 = 8364
Step 13: 8364 + 697 = 9061
Step 14: 9061 + 697 = 9758
Step 15: 9758 + 697 = 10455
Step 16: 10455 + 697 = 11152
Step 17: 11152 + 697 = 11849
Step 18: 11849 + 697 = 12546
Step 19: 12546 + 697 = 13243
Step 20: 13243 + 697 = 13940
Step 21: 13940 + 697 = 14637
Step 22: 14637 + 697 = 15334
Step 23: 15334 + 697 = 16031
Step 24: 16031 + 697 = 16728
Step 25: 16728 + 697 = 17425
Step 26: 17425 + 697 = 18122
Step 27: 18122 + 697 = 18819
Step 28: 18819 + 697 = 19516
Step 29: 19516 + 697 = 20213
Step 30: 20213 + 697 = 20910
Step 31: 20910 + 697 = 21607
Step 32: 21607 + 697 = 22304
Step 33: 22304 + 697 = 23001
Step 34: 23001 + 697 = 23698

So, 697*34 = 23698
