Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 198. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 16. So, we're going to take the number 198 and add it to itself 16 times.
Step 1: 0 + 198 = 198
Step 2: 198 + 198 = 396
Step 3: 396 + 198 = 594
Step 4: 594 + 198 = 792
Step 5: 792 + 198 = 990
Step 6: 990 + 198 = 1188
Step 7: 1188 + 198 = 1386
Step 8: 1386 + 198 = 1584
Step 9: 1584 + 198 = 1782
Step 10: 1782 + 198 = 1980
Step 11: 1980 + 198 = 2178
Step 12: 2178 + 198 = 2376
Step 13: 2376 + 198 = 2574
Step 14: 2574 + 198 = 2772
Step 15: 2772 + 198 = 2970
Step 16: 2970 + 198 = 3168

So, 198*16 = 3168
