Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 386 and we're going to multiply it by 26, essentially adding 386 to itself 26 times.
Step 1: 0 + 386 = 386
Step 2: 386 + 386 = 772
Step 3: 772 + 386 = 1158
Step 4: 1158 + 386 = 1544
Step 5: 1544 + 386 = 1930
Step 6: 1930 + 386 = 2316
Step 7: 2316 + 386 = 2702
Step 8: 2702 + 386 = 3088
Step 9: 3088 + 386 = 3474
Step 10: 3474 + 386 = 3860
Step 11: 3860 + 386 = 4246
Step 12: 4246 + 386 = 4632
Step 13: 4632 + 386 = 5018
Step 14: 5018 + 386 = 5404
Step 15: 5404 + 386 = 5790
Step 16: 5790 + 386 = 6176
Step 17: 6176 + 386 = 6562
Step 18: 6562 + 386 = 6948
Step 19: 6948 + 386 = 7334
Step 20: 7334 + 386 = 7720
Step 21: 7720 + 386 = 8106
Step 22: 8106 + 386 = 8492
Step 23: 8492 + 386 = 8878
Step 24: 8878 + 386 = 9264
Step 25: 9264 + 386 = 9650
Step 26: 9650 + 386 = 10036

So, 386*26 = 10036
