OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 221 and we're going to multiply it by 23, which means we add 221 to itself 23 times.
Step 1: 0 + 221 = 221
Step 2: 221 + 221 = 442
Step 3: 442 + 221 = 663
Step 4: 663 + 221 = 884
Step 5: 884 + 221 = 1105
Step 6: 1105 + 221 = 1326
Step 7: 1326 + 221 = 1547
Step 8: 1547 + 221 = 1768
Step 9: 1768 + 221 = 1989
Step 10: 1989 + 221 = 2210
Step 11: 2210 + 221 = 2431
Step 12: 2431 + 221 = 2652
Step 13: 2652 + 221 = 2873
Step 14: 2873 + 221 = 3094
Step 15: 3094 + 221 = 3315
Step 16: 3315 + 221 = 3536
Step 17: 3536 + 221 = 3757
Step 18: 3757 + 221 = 3978
Step 19: 3978 + 221 = 4199
Step 20: 4199 + 221 = 4420
Step 21: 4420 + 221 = 4641
Step 22: 4641 + 221 = 4862
Step 23: 4862 + 221 = 5083

So, 221*23 = 5083
