OK, let's crack this. We're given 868 and our task is to multiply it by 17. Essentially, we'll be adding 868 to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 868 = 868
Step 2: 868 + 868 = 1736
Step 3: 1736 + 868 = 2604
Step 4: 2604 + 868 = 3472
Step 5: 3472 + 868 = 4340
Step 6: 4340 + 868 = 5208
Step 7: 5208 + 868 = 6076
Step 8: 6076 + 868 = 6944
Step 9: 6944 + 868 = 7812
Step 10: 7812 + 868 = 8680
Step 11: 8680 + 868 = 9548
Step 12: 9548 + 868 = 10416
Step 13: 10416 + 868 = 11284
Step 14: 11284 + 868 = 12152
Step 15: 12152 + 868 = 13020
Step 16: 13020 + 868 = 13888
Step 17: 13888 + 868 = 14756

So, 868*17 = 14756
