OK, let's crack this. We're given 178 and our task is to multiply it by 16. Essentially, we'll be adding 178 to itself 16 times.
Step 1: 0 + 178 = 178
Step 2: 178 + 178 = 356
Step 3: 356 + 178 = 534
Step 4: 534 + 178 = 712
Step 5: 712 + 178 = 890
Step 6: 890 + 178 = 1068
Step 7: 1068 + 178 = 1246
Step 8: 1246 + 178 = 1424
Step 9: 1424 + 178 = 1602
Step 10: 1602 + 178 = 1780
Step 11: 1780 + 178 = 1958
Step 12: 1958 + 178 = 2136
Step 13: 2136 + 178 = 2314
Step 14: 2314 + 178 = 2492
Step 15: 2492 + 178 = 2670
Step 16: 2670 + 178 = 2848

So, 178*16 = 2848
