OK, let's crack this. We're given 685 and our task is to multiply it by 8. Essentially, we'll be adding 685 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 685 = 685
Step 2: 685 + 685 = 1370
Step 3: 1370 + 685 = 2055
Step 4: 2055 + 685 = 2740
Step 5: 2740 + 685 = 3425
Step 6: 3425 + 685 = 4110
Step 7: 4110 + 685 = 4795
Step 8: 4795 + 685 = 5480

So, 685*8 = 5480
