Sure thing! We've got 617 and we're gonna multiply it by 8. That's the same as adding 617 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 617 = 617
Step 2: 617 + 617 = 1234
Step 3: 1234 + 617 = 1851
Step 4: 1851 + 617 = 2468
Step 5: 2468 + 617 = 3085
Step 6: 3085 + 617 = 3702
Step 7: 3702 + 617 = 4319
Step 8: 4319 + 617 = 4936

So, 617*8 = 4936
