Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 42. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 29. So, we're going to take the number 42 and add it to itself 29 times.
Step 1: 0 + 42 = 42
Step 2: 42 + 42 = 84
Step 3: 84 + 42 = 126
Step 4: 126 + 42 = 168
Step 5: 168 + 42 = 210
Step 6: 210 + 42 = 252
Step 7: 252 + 42 = 294
Step 8: 294 + 42 = 336
Step 9: 336 + 42 = 378
Step 10: 378 + 42 = 420
Step 11: 420 + 42 = 462
Step 12: 462 + 42 = 504
Step 13: 504 + 42 = 546
Step 14: 546 + 42 = 588
Step 15: 588 + 42 = 630
Step 16: 630 + 42 = 672
Step 17: 672 + 42 = 714
Step 18: 714 + 42 = 756
Step 19: 756 + 42 = 798
Step 20: 798 + 42 = 840
Step 21: 840 + 42 = 882
Step 22: 882 + 42 = 924
Step 23: 924 + 42 = 966
Step 24: 966 + 42 = 1008
Step 25: 1008 + 42 = 1050
Step 26: 1050 + 42 = 1092
Step 27: 1092 + 42 = 1134
Step 28: 1134 + 42 = 1176
Step 29: 1176 + 42 = 1218

So, 42*29 = 1218
