Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 290 and we're going to multiply it by 19, essentially adding 290 to itself 19 times.
Step 1: 0 + 290 = 290
Step 2: 290 + 290 = 580
Step 3: 580 + 290 = 870
Step 4: 870 + 290 = 1160
Step 5: 1160 + 290 = 1450
Step 6: 1450 + 290 = 1740
Step 7: 1740 + 290 = 2030
Step 8: 2030 + 290 = 2320
Step 9: 2320 + 290 = 2610
Step 10: 2610 + 290 = 2900
Step 11: 2900 + 290 = 3190
Step 12: 3190 + 290 = 3480
Step 13: 3480 + 290 = 3770
Step 14: 3770 + 290 = 4060
Step 15: 4060 + 290 = 4350
Step 16: 4350 + 290 = 4640
Step 17: 4640 + 290 = 4930
Step 18: 4930 + 290 = 5220
Step 19: 5220 + 290 = 5510

So, 290*19 = 5510
