Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 898 and we're going to multiply it by 38, which means adding 898 to itself 38 times.
Step 1: 0 + 898 = 898
Step 2: 898 + 898 = 1796
Step 3: 1796 + 898 = 2694
Step 4: 2694 + 898 = 3592
Step 5: 3592 + 898 = 4490
Step 6: 4490 + 898 = 5388
Step 7: 5388 + 898 = 6286
Step 8: 6286 + 898 = 7184
Step 9: 7184 + 898 = 8082
Step 10: 8082 + 898 = 8980
Step 11: 8980 + 898 = 9878
Step 12: 9878 + 898 = 10776
Step 13: 10776 + 898 = 11674
Step 14: 11674 + 898 = 12572
Step 15: 12572 + 898 = 13470
Step 16: 13470 + 898 = 14368
Step 17: 14368 + 898 = 15266
Step 18: 15266 + 898 = 16164
Step 19: 16164 + 898 = 17062
Step 20: 17062 + 898 = 17960
Step 21: 17960 + 898 = 18858
Step 22: 18858 + 898 = 19756
Step 23: 19756 + 898 = 20654
Step 24: 20654 + 898 = 21552
Step 25: 21552 + 898 = 22450
Step 26: 22450 + 898 = 23348
Step 27: 23348 + 898 = 24246
Step 28: 24246 + 898 = 25144
Step 29: 25144 + 898 = 26042
Step 30: 26042 + 898 = 26940
Step 31: 26940 + 898 = 27838
Step 32: 27838 + 898 = 28736
Step 33: 28736 + 898 = 29634
Step 34: 29634 + 898 = 30532
Step 35: 30532 + 898 = 31430
Step 36: 31430 + 898 = 32328
Step 37: 32328 + 898 = 33226
Step 38: 33226 + 898 = 34124

So, 898*38 = 34124
