Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 178. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 5. So, we're going to take the number 178 and add it to itself 5 times.
Step 1: 0 + 178 = 178
Step 2: 178 + 178 = 356
Step 3: 356 + 178 = 534
Step 4: 534 + 178 = 712
Step 5: 712 + 178 = 890

So, 178*5 = 890
