OK, let's crack this. We're given 473 and our task is to multiply it by 9. Essentially, we'll be adding 473 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 473 = 473
Step 2: 473 + 473 = 946
Step 3: 946 + 473 = 1419
Step 4: 1419 + 473 = 1892
Step 5: 1892 + 473 = 2365
Step 6: 2365 + 473 = 2838
Step 7: 2838 + 473 = 3311
Step 8: 3311 + 473 = 3784
Step 9: 3784 + 473 = 4257

So, 473*9 = 4257
