Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 978 and we're going to multiply it by 7, essentially adding 978 to itself 7 times.
Step 1: 0 + 978 = 978
Step 2: 978 + 978 = 1956
Step 3: 1956 + 978 = 2934
Step 4: 2934 + 978 = 3912
Step 5: 3912 + 978 = 4890
Step 6: 4890 + 978 = 5868
Step 7: 5868 + 978 = 6846

So, 978*7 = 6846
