Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 171. 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 171 and add it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 171 = 171
Step 2: 171 + 171 = 342
Step 3: 342 + 171 = 513
Step 4: 513 + 171 = 684
Step 5: 684 + 171 = 855
Step 6: 855 + 171 = 1026
Step 7: 1026 + 171 = 1197
Step 8: 1197 + 171 = 1368
Step 9: 1368 + 171 = 1539
Step 10: 1539 + 171 = 1710
Step 11: 1710 + 171 = 1881
Step 12: 1881 + 171 = 2052
Step 13: 2052 + 171 = 2223
Step 14: 2223 + 171 = 2394
Step 15: 2394 + 171 = 2565
Step 16: 2565 + 171 = 2736
Step 17: 2736 + 171 = 2907

So, 171*17 = 2907
