Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 979. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 22. So, we're going to take the number 979 and add it to itself 22 times.
Step 1: 0 + 979 = 979
Step 2: 979 + 979 = 1958
Step 3: 1958 + 979 = 2937
Step 4: 2937 + 979 = 3916
Step 5: 3916 + 979 = 4895
Step 6: 4895 + 979 = 5874
Step 7: 5874 + 979 = 6853
Step 8: 6853 + 979 = 7832
Step 9: 7832 + 979 = 8811
Step 10: 8811 + 979 = 9790
Step 11: 9790 + 979 = 10769
Step 12: 10769 + 979 = 11748
Step 13: 11748 + 979 = 12727
Step 14: 12727 + 979 = 13706
Step 15: 13706 + 979 = 14685
Step 16: 14685 + 979 = 15664
Step 17: 15664 + 979 = 16643
Step 18: 16643 + 979 = 17622
Step 19: 17622 + 979 = 18601
Step 20: 18601 + 979 = 19580
Step 21: 19580 + 979 = 20559
Step 22: 20559 + 979 = 21538

So, 979*22 = 21538
