Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 653. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 9. So, we're going to take the number 653 and add it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 653 = 653
Step 2: 653 + 653 = 1306
Step 3: 1306 + 653 = 1959
Step 4: 1959 + 653 = 2612
Step 5: 2612 + 653 = 3265
Step 6: 3265 + 653 = 3918
Step 7: 3918 + 653 = 4571
Step 8: 4571 + 653 = 5224
Step 9: 5224 + 653 = 5877

So, 653*9 = 5877
