Let's get this math done. We have 197 and we're going to multiply it by 9. This is the same as taking 197 and adding it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 197 = 197
Step 2: 197 + 197 = 394
Step 3: 394 + 197 = 591
Step 4: 591 + 197 = 788
Step 5: 788 + 197 = 985
Step 6: 985 + 197 = 1182
Step 7: 1182 + 197 = 1379
Step 8: 1379 + 197 = 1576
Step 9: 1576 + 197 = 1773

So, 197*9 = 1773
