Let's get this math done. We have 227 and we're going to multiply it by 9. This is the same as taking 227 and adding it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 227 = 227
Step 2: 227 + 227 = 454
Step 3: 454 + 227 = 681
Step 4: 681 + 227 = 908
Step 5: 908 + 227 = 1135
Step 6: 1135 + 227 = 1362
Step 7: 1362 + 227 = 1589
Step 8: 1589 + 227 = 1816
Step 9: 1816 + 227 = 2043

So, 227*9 = 2043
