Let's get this math done. We have 532 and we're going to multiply it by 23. This is the same as taking 532 and adding it to itself 23 times.
Step 1: 0 + 532 = 532
Step 2: 532 + 532 = 1064
Step 3: 1064 + 532 = 1596
Step 4: 1596 + 532 = 2128
Step 5: 2128 + 532 = 2660
Step 6: 2660 + 532 = 3192
Step 7: 3192 + 532 = 3724
Step 8: 3724 + 532 = 4256
Step 9: 4256 + 532 = 4788
Step 10: 4788 + 532 = 5320
Step 11: 5320 + 532 = 5852
Step 12: 5852 + 532 = 6384
Step 13: 6384 + 532 = 6916
Step 14: 6916 + 532 = 7448
Step 15: 7448 + 532 = 7980
Step 16: 7980 + 532 = 8512
Step 17: 8512 + 532 = 9044
Step 18: 9044 + 532 = 9576
Step 19: 9576 + 532 = 10108
Step 20: 10108 + 532 = 10640
Step 21: 10640 + 532 = 11172
Step 22: 11172 + 532 = 11704
Step 23: 11704 + 532 = 12236

So, 532*23 = 12236
