Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 966 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means adding 966 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 966 = 966
Step 2: 966 + 966 = 1932
Step 3: 1932 + 966 = 2898
Step 4: 2898 + 966 = 3864
Step 5: 3864 + 966 = 4830
Step 6: 4830 + 966 = 5796
Step 7: 5796 + 966 = 6762
Step 8: 6762 + 966 = 7728
Step 9: 7728 + 966 = 8694

So, 966*9 = 8694
