Let's get this math done. We have 189 and we're going to multiply it by 9. This is the same as taking 189 and adding it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 189 = 189
Step 2: 189 + 189 = 378
Step 3: 378 + 189 = 567
Step 4: 567 + 189 = 756
Step 5: 756 + 189 = 945
Step 6: 945 + 189 = 1134
Step 7: 1134 + 189 = 1323
Step 8: 1323 + 189 = 1512
Step 9: 1512 + 189 = 1701

So, 189*9 = 1701
