Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 246. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 8. So, we're going to take the number 246 and add it to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 246 = 246
Step 2: 246 + 246 = 492
Step 3: 492 + 246 = 738
Step 4: 738 + 246 = 984
Step 5: 984 + 246 = 1230
Step 6: 1230 + 246 = 1476
Step 7: 1476 + 246 = 1722
Step 8: 1722 + 246 = 1968

So, 246*8 = 1968
