Step 9: 3928 + 491 = 4419
Step 10: 4419 + 491 = 4910
Step 11: 4910 + 491 = 5401
Step 12: 5401 + 491 = 5892
Step 13: 5892 + 491 = 6383
Step 14: 6383 + 491 = 6874
Step 15: 6874 + 491 = 7365
Step 16: 7365 + 491 = 7856
Step 17: 7856 + 491 = 8347
Step 18: 8347 + 491 = 8838
Step 19: 8838 + 491 = 9329
Step 20: 9329 + 491 = 9820
Step 21: 9820 + 491 = 10311
Step 22: 10311 + 491 = 10802
Step 23: 10802 + 491 = 11293
Step 24: 11293 + 491 = 11784
Step 25: 11784 + 491 = 12275
Step 26: 12275 + 491 = 12766
Step 27: 12766 + 491 = 13257
Step 28: 13257 + 491 = 13748
Step 29: 13748 + 491 = 14239
Step 30: 14239 + 491 = 14730
Step 31: 14730 + 491 = 15221
Step 32: 15221 + 491 = 15712
Step 33: 15712 + 491 = 16203
Step 34: 16203 + 491 = 16694
Step 35: 16694 + 491 = 17185
Step 36: 17185 + 491 = 17676
Step 37: 17676 + 491 = 18167
Step 38: 18167 + 491 = 18658
Step 39: 18658 + 491 = 19149
Step 40: 19149 + 491 = 19640
Step 41: 19640 + 491 = 20131
Step 42: 20131 + 491 = 20622
Step 43: 20622 + 491 = 21113
Step 44: 21113 + 491 = 21604

So, 491*44 = 21604
