Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 229. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 40. So, we're going to take the number 229 and add it to itself 40 times.
Step 1: 0 + 229 = 229
Step 2: 229 + 229 = 458
Step 3: 458 + 229 = 687
Step 4: 687 + 229 = 916
Step 5: 916 + 229 = 1145
Step 6: 1145 + 229 = 1374
Step 7: 1374 + 229 = 1603
Step 8: 1603 + 229 = 1832
Step 9: 1832 + 229 = 2061
Step 10: 2061 + 229 = 2290
Step 11: 2290 + 229 = 2519
Step 12: 2519 + 229 = 2748
Step 13: 2748 + 229 = 2977
Step 14: 2977 + 229 = 3206
Step 15: 3206 + 229 = 3435
Step 16: 3435 + 229 = 3664
Step 17: 3664 + 229 = 3893
Step 18: 3893 + 229 = 4122
Step 19: 4122 + 229 = 4351
Step 20: 4351 + 229 = 4580
Step 21: 4580 + 229 = 4809
Step 22: 4809 + 229 = 5038
Step 23: 5038 + 229 = 5267
Step 24: 5267 + 229 = 5496
Step 25: 5496 + 229 = 5725
Step 26: 5725 + 229 = 5954
Step 27: 5954 + 229 = 6183
Step 28: 6183 + 229 = 6412
Step 29: 6412 + 229 = 6641
Step 30: 6641 + 229 = 6870
Step 31: 6870 + 229 = 7099
Step 32: 7099 + 229 = 7328
Step 33: 7328 + 229 = 7557
Step 34: 7557 + 229 = 7786
Step 35: 7786 + 229 = 8015
Step 36: 8015 + 229 = 8244
Step 37: 8244 + 229 = 8473
Step 38: 8473 + 229 = 8702
Step 39: 8702 + 229 = 8931
Step 40: 8931 + 229 = 9160

So, 229*40 = 9160
