Let's get this math done. We have 983 and we're going to multiply it by 24. This is the same as taking 983 and adding it to itself 24 times.
Step 1: 0 + 983 = 983
Step 2: 983 + 983 = 1966
Step 3: 1966 + 983 = 2949
Step 4: 2949 + 983 = 3932
Step 5: 3932 + 983 = 4915
Step 6: 4915 + 983 = 5898
Step 7: 5898 + 983 = 6881
Step 8: 6881 + 983 = 7864
Step 9: 7864 + 983 = 8847
Step 10: 8847 + 983 = 9830
Step 11: 9830 + 983 = 10813
Step 12: 10813 + 983 = 11796
Step 13: 11796 + 983 = 12779
Step 14: 12779 + 983 = 13762
Step 15: 13762 + 983 = 14745
Step 16: 14745 + 983 = 15728
Step 17: 15728 + 983 = 16711
Step 18: 16711 + 983 = 17694
Step 19: 17694 + 983 = 18677
Step 20: 18677 + 983 = 19660
Step 21: 19660 + 983 = 20643
Step 22: 20643 + 983 = 21626
Step 23: 21626 + 983 = 22609
Step 24: 22609 + 983 = 23592

So, 983*24 = 23592
