Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 604 and we're going to multiply it by 17, essentially adding 604 to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 604 = 604
Step 2: 604 + 604 = 1208
Step 3: 1208 + 604 = 1812
Step 4: 1812 + 604 = 2416
Step 5: 2416 + 604 = 3020
Step 6: 3020 + 604 = 3624
Step 7: 3624 + 604 = 4228
Step 8: 4228 + 604 = 4832
Step 9: 4832 + 604 = 5436
Step 10: 5436 + 604 = 6040
Step 11: 6040 + 604 = 6644
Step 12: 6644 + 604 = 7248
Step 13: 7248 + 604 = 7852
Step 14: 7852 + 604 = 8456
Step 15: 8456 + 604 = 9060
Step 16: 9060 + 604 = 9664
Step 17: 9664 + 604 = 10268

So, 604*17 = 10268
