OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 512 and we're going to multiply it by 8, which means we add 512 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 512 = 512
Step 2: 512 + 512 = 1024
Step 3: 1024 + 512 = 1536
Step 4: 1536 + 512 = 2048
Step 5: 2048 + 512 = 2560
Step 6: 2560 + 512 = 3072
Step 7: 3072 + 512 = 3584
Step 8: 3584 + 512 = 4096

So, 512*8 = 4096
