Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 659. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 8. So, we're going to take the number 659 and add it to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 659 = 659
Step 2: 659 + 659 = 1318
Step 3: 1318 + 659 = 1977
Step 4: 1977 + 659 = 2636
Step 5: 2636 + 659 = 3295
Step 6: 3295 + 659 = 3954
Step 7: 3954 + 659 = 4613
Step 8: 4613 + 659 = 5272

So, 659*8 = 5272
