Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 238. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 17. So, we're going to take the number 238 and add it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 238 = 238
Step 2: 238 + 238 = 476
Step 3: 476 + 238 = 714
Step 4: 714 + 238 = 952
Step 5: 952 + 238 = 1190
Step 6: 1190 + 238 = 1428
Step 7: 1428 + 238 = 1666
Step 8: 1666 + 238 = 1904
Step 9: 1904 + 238 = 2142
Step 10: 2142 + 238 = 2380
Step 11: 2380 + 238 = 2618
Step 12: 2618 + 238 = 2856
Step 13: 2856 + 238 = 3094
Step 14: 3094 + 238 = 3332
Step 15: 3332 + 238 = 3570
Step 16: 3570 + 238 = 3808
Step 17: 3808 + 238 = 4046

So, 238*17 = 4046
