OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 262 and we're going to multiply it by 38, which means we add 262 to itself 38 times.
Step 1: 0 + 262 = 262
Step 2: 262 + 262 = 524
Step 3: 524 + 262 = 786
Step 4: 786 + 262 = 1048
Step 5: 1048 + 262 = 1310
Step 6: 1310 + 262 = 1572
Step 7: 1572 + 262 = 1834
Step 8: 1834 + 262 = 2096
Step 9: 2096 + 262 = 2358
Step 10: 2358 + 262 = 2620
Step 11: 2620 + 262 = 2882
Step 12: 2882 + 262 = 3144
Step 13: 3144 + 262 = 3406
Step 14: 3406 + 262 = 3668
Step 15: 3668 + 262 = 3930
Step 16: 3930 + 262 = 4192
Step 17: 4192 + 262 = 4454
Step 18: 4454 + 262 = 4716
Step 19: 4716 + 262 = 4978
Step 20: 4978 + 262 = 5240
Step 21: 5240 + 262 = 5502
Step 22: 5502 + 262 = 5764
Step 23: 5764 + 262 = 6026
Step 24: 6026 + 262 = 6288
Step 25: 6288 + 262 = 6550
Step 26: 6550 + 262 = 6812
Step 27: 6812 + 262 = 7074
Step 28: 7074 + 262 = 7336
Step 29: 7336 + 262 = 7598
Step 30: 7598 + 262 = 7860
Step 31: 7860 + 262 = 8122
Step 32: 8122 + 262 = 8384
Step 33: 8384 + 262 = 8646
Step 34: 8646 + 262 = 8908
Step 35: 8908 + 262 = 9170
Step 36: 9170 + 262 = 9432
Step 37: 9432 + 262 = 9694
Step 38: 9694 + 262 = 9956

So, 262*38 = 9956
