OK, let's crack this. We're given 299 and our task is to multiply it by 8. Essentially, we'll be adding 299 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 299 = 299
Step 2: 299 + 299 = 598
Step 3: 598 + 299 = 897
Step 4: 897 + 299 = 1196
Step 5: 1196 + 299 = 1495
Step 6: 1495 + 299 = 1794
Step 7: 1794 + 299 = 2093
Step 8: 2093 + 299 = 2392

So, 299*8 = 2392
