Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 248 and we're going to multiply it by 8, which means adding 248 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 248 = 248
Step 2: 248 + 248 = 496
Step 3: 496 + 248 = 744
Step 4: 744 + 248 = 992
Step 5: 992 + 248 = 1240
Step 6: 1240 + 248 = 1488
Step 7: 1488 + 248 = 1736
Step 8: 1736 + 248 = 1984

So, 248*8 = 1984
