Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 487. 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 487 and add it to itself 5 times.
Step 1: 0 + 487 = 487
Step 2: 487 + 487 = 974
Step 3: 974 + 487 = 1461
Step 4: 1461 + 487 = 1948
Step 5: 1948 + 487 = 2435

So, 487*5 = 2435
