OK, let's crack this. We're given 268 and our task is to multiply it by 8. Essentially, we'll be adding 268 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 268 = 268
Step 2: 268 + 268 = 536
Step 3: 536 + 268 = 804
Step 4: 804 + 268 = 1072
Step 5: 1072 + 268 = 1340
Step 6: 1340 + 268 = 1608
Step 7: 1608 + 268 = 1876
Step 8: 1876 + 268 = 2144

So, 268*8 = 2144
