Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 98 and we're going to multiply it by 41, essentially adding 98 to itself 41 times.
Step 1: 0 + 98 = 98
Step 2: 98 + 98 = 196
Step 3: 196 + 98 = 294
Step 4: 294 + 98 = 392
Step 5: 392 + 98 = 490
Step 6: 490 + 98 = 588
Step 7: 588 + 98 = 686
Step 8: 686 + 98 = 784
Step 9: 784 + 98 = 882
Step 10: 882 + 98 = 980
Step 11: 980 + 98 = 1078
Step 12: 1078 + 98 = 1176
Step 13: 1176 + 98 = 1274
Step 14: 1274 + 98 = 1372
Step 15: 1372 + 98 = 1470
Step 16: 1470 + 98 = 1568
Step 17: 1568 + 98 = 1666
Step 18: 1666 + 98 = 1764
Step 19: 1764 + 98 = 1862
Step 20: 1862 + 98 = 1960
Step 21: 1960 + 98 = 2058
Step 22: 2058 + 98 = 2156
Step 23: 2156 + 98 = 2254
Step 24: 2254 + 98 = 2352
Step 25: 2352 + 98 = 2450
Step 26: 2450 + 98 = 2548
Step 27: 2548 + 98 = 2646
Step 28: 2646 + 98 = 2744
Step 29: 2744 + 98 = 2842
Step 30: 2842 + 98 = 2940
Step 31: 2940 + 98 = 3038
Step 32: 3038 + 98 = 3136
Step 33: 3136 + 98 = 3234
Step 34: 3234 + 98 = 3332
Step 35: 3332 + 98 = 3430
Step 36: 3430 + 98 = 3528
Step 37: 3528 + 98 = 3626
Step 38: 3626 + 98 = 3724
Step 39: 3724 + 98 = 3822
Step 40: 3822 + 98 = 3920
Step 41: 3920 + 98 = 4018

So, 98*41 = 4018
