Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 697. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 8. So, we're going to take the number 697 and add it to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 697 = 697
Step 2: 697 + 697 = 1394
Step 3: 1394 + 697 = 2091
Step 4: 2091 + 697 = 2788
Step 5: 2788 + 697 = 3485
Step 6: 3485 + 697 = 4182
Step 7: 4182 + 697 = 4879
Step 8: 4879 + 697 = 5576

So, 697*8 = 5576
