Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 283 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means adding 283 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 283 = 283
Step 2: 283 + 283 = 566
Step 3: 566 + 283 = 849
Step 4: 849 + 283 = 1132
Step 5: 1132 + 283 = 1415
Step 6: 1415 + 283 = 1698
Step 7: 1698 + 283 = 1981
Step 8: 1981 + 283 = 2264
Step 9: 2264 + 283 = 2547

So, 283*9 = 2547
