Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 525 and we're going to multiply it by 9, essentially adding 525 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 525 = 525
Step 2: 525 + 525 = 1050
Step 3: 1050 + 525 = 1575
Step 4: 1575 + 525 = 2100
Step 5: 2100 + 525 = 2625
Step 6: 2625 + 525 = 3150
Step 7: 3150 + 525 = 3675
Step 8: 3675 + 525 = 4200
Step 9: 4200 + 525 = 4725

So, 525*9 = 4725
