OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 208 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means we add 208 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 208 = 208
Step 2: 208 + 208 = 416
Step 3: 416 + 208 = 624
Step 4: 624 + 208 = 832
Step 5: 832 + 208 = 1040
Step 6: 1040 + 208 = 1248
Step 7: 1248 + 208 = 1456
Step 8: 1456 + 208 = 1664
Step 9: 1664 + 208 = 1872

So, 208*9 = 1872
