Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 490 and we're going to multiply it by 47, which means adding 490 to itself 47 times.
Step 1: 0 + 490 = 490
Step 2: 490 + 490 = 980
Step 3: 980 + 490 = 1470
Step 4: 1470 + 490 = 1960
Step 5: 1960 + 490 = 2450
Step 6: 2450 + 490 = 2940
Step 7: 2940 + 490 = 3430
Step 8: 3430 + 490 = 3920
Step 9: 3920 + 490 = 4410
Step 10: 4410 + 490 = 4900
Step 11: 4900 + 490 = 5390
Step 12: 5390 + 490 = 5880
Step 13: 5880 + 490 = 6370
Step 14: 6370 + 490 = 6860
Step 15: 6860 + 490 = 7350
Step 16: 7350 + 490 = 7840
Step 17: 7840 + 490 = 8330
Step 18: 8330 + 490 = 8820
Step 19: 8820 + 490 = 9310
Step 20: 9310 + 490 = 9800
Step 21: 9800 + 490 = 10290
Step 22: 10290 + 490 = 10780
Step 23: 10780 + 490 = 11270
Step 24: 11270 + 490 = 11760
Step 25: 11760 + 490 = 12250
Step 26: 12250 + 490 = 12740
Step 27: 12740 + 490 = 13230
Step 28: 13230 + 490 = 13720
Step 29: 13720 + 490 = 14210
Step 30: 14210 + 490 = 14700
Step 31: 14700 + 490 = 15190
Step 32: 15190 + 490 = 15680
Step 33: 15680 + 490 = 16170
Step 34: 16170 + 490 = 16660
Step 35: 16660 + 490 = 17150
Step 36: 17150 + 490 = 17640
Step 37: 17640 + 490 = 18130
Step 38: 18130 + 490 = 18620
Step 39: 18620 + 490 = 19110
Step 40: 19110 + 490 = 19600
Step 41: 19600 + 490 = 20090
Step 42: 20090 + 490 = 20580
Step 43: 20580 + 490 = 21070
Step 44: 21070 + 490 = 21560
Step 45: 21560 + 490 = 22050
Step 46: 22050 + 490 = 22540
Step 47: 22540 + 490 = 23030

So, 490*47 = 23030
