Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 248. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 17. So, we're going to take the number 248 and add it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 248 = 248
Step 2: 248 + 248 = 496
Step 3: 496 + 248 = 744
Step 4: 744 + 248 = 992
Step 5: 992 + 248 = 1240
Step 6: 1240 + 248 = 1488
Step 7: 1488 + 248 = 1736
Step 8: 1736 + 248 = 1984
Step 9: 1984 + 248 = 2232
Step 10: 2232 + 248 = 2480
Step 11: 2480 + 248 = 2728
Step 12: 2728 + 248 = 2976
Step 13: 2976 + 248 = 3224
Step 14: 3224 + 248 = 3472
Step 15: 3472 + 248 = 3720
Step 16: 3720 + 248 = 3968
Step 17: 3968 + 248 = 4216

So, 248*17 = 4216
