OK, let's crack this. We're given 966 and our task is to multiply it by 8. Essentially, we'll be adding 966 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 966 = 966
Step 2: 966 + 966 = 1932
Step 3: 1932 + 966 = 2898
Step 4: 2898 + 966 = 3864
Step 5: 3864 + 966 = 4830
Step 6: 4830 + 966 = 5796
Step 7: 5796 + 966 = 6762
Step 8: 6762 + 966 = 7728

So, 966*8 = 7728
