Let's get this math done. We have 227 and we're going to multiply it by 23. This is the same as taking 227 and adding it to itself 23 times.
Step 1: 0 + 227 = 227
Step 2: 227 + 227 = 454
Step 3: 454 + 227 = 681
Step 4: 681 + 227 = 908
Step 5: 908 + 227 = 1135
Step 6: 1135 + 227 = 1362
Step 7: 1362 + 227 = 1589
Step 8: 1589 + 227 = 1816
Step 9: 1816 + 227 = 2043
Step 10: 2043 + 227 = 2270
Step 11: 2270 + 227 = 2497
Step 12: 2497 + 227 = 2724
Step 13: 2724 + 227 = 2951
Step 14: 2951 + 227 = 3178
Step 15: 3178 + 227 = 3405
Step 16: 3405 + 227 = 3632
Step 17: 3632 + 227 = 3859
Step 18: 3859 + 227 = 4086
Step 19: 4086 + 227 = 4313
Step 20: 4313 + 227 = 4540
Step 21: 4540 + 227 = 4767
Step 22: 4767 + 227 = 4994
Step 23: 4994 + 227 = 5221

So, 227*23 = 5221
