OK, let's crack this. We're given 117 and our task is to multiply it by 47. Essentially, we'll be adding 117 to itself 47 times.
Step 1: 0 + 117 = 117
Step 2: 117 + 117 = 234
Step 3: 234 + 117 = 351
Step 4: 351 + 117 = 468
Step 5: 468 + 117 = 585
Step 6: 585 + 117 = 702
Step 7: 702 + 117 = 819
Step 8: 819 + 117 = 936
Step 9: 936 + 117 = 1053
Step 10: 1053 + 117 = 1170
Step 11: 1170 + 117 = 1287
Step 12: 1287 + 117 = 1404
Step 13: 1404 + 117 = 1521
Step 14: 1521 + 117 = 1638
Step 15: 1638 + 117 = 1755
Step 16: 1755 + 117 = 1872
Step 17: 1872 + 117 = 1989
Step 18: 1989 + 117 = 2106
Step 19: 2106 + 117 = 2223
Step 20: 2223 + 117 = 2340
Step 21: 2340 + 117 = 2457
Step 22: 2457 + 117 = 2574
Step 23: 2574 + 117 = 2691
Step 24: 2691 + 117 = 2808
Step 25: 2808 + 117 = 2925
Step 26: 2925 + 117 = 3042
Step 27: 3042 + 117 = 3159
Step 28: 3159 + 117 = 3276
Step 29: 3276 + 117 = 3393
Step 30: 3393 + 117 = 3510
Step 31: 3510 + 117 = 3627
Step 32: 3627 + 117 = 3744
Step 33: 3744 + 117 = 3861
Step 34: 3861 + 117 = 3978
Step 35: 3978 + 117 = 4095
Step 36: 4095 + 117 = 4212
Step 37: 4212 + 117 = 4329
Step 38: 4329 + 117 = 4446
Step 39: 4446 + 117 = 4563
Step 40: 4563 + 117 = 4680
Step 41: 4680 + 117 = 4797
Step 42: 4797 + 117 = 4914
Step 43: 4914 + 117 = 5031
Step 44: 5031 + 117 = 5148
Step 45: 5148 + 117 = 5265
Step 46: 5265 + 117 = 5382
Step 47: 5382 + 117 = 5499

So, 117*47 = 5499
