Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 734. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 17. So, we're going to take the number 734 and add it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 734 = 734
Step 2: 734 + 734 = 1468
Step 3: 1468 + 734 = 2202
Step 4: 2202 + 734 = 2936
Step 5: 2936 + 734 = 3670
Step 6: 3670 + 734 = 4404
Step 7: 4404 + 734 = 5138
Step 8: 5138 + 734 = 5872
Step 9: 5872 + 734 = 6606
Step 10: 6606 + 734 = 7340
Step 11: 7340 + 734 = 8074
Step 12: 8074 + 734 = 8808
Step 13: 8808 + 734 = 9542
Step 14: 9542 + 734 = 10276
Step 15: 10276 + 734 = 11010
Step 16: 11010 + 734 = 11744
Step 17: 11744 + 734 = 12478

So, 734*17 = 12478
