Let's get this math done. We have 495 and we're going to multiply it by 6. This is the same as taking 495 and adding it to itself 6 times.
Step 1: 0 + 495 = 495
Step 2: 495 + 495 = 990
Step 3: 990 + 495 = 1485
Step 4: 1485 + 495 = 1980
Step 5: 1980 + 495 = 2475
Step 6: 2475 + 495 = 2970

So, 495*6 = 2970
