Let's get this math done. We have 74 and we're going to multiply it by 17. This is the same as taking 74 and adding it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 74 = 74
Step 2: 74 + 74 = 148
Step 3: 148 + 74 = 222
Step 4: 222 + 74 = 296
Step 5: 296 + 74 = 370
Step 6: 370 + 74 = 444
Step 7: 444 + 74 = 518
Step 8: 518 + 74 = 592
Step 9: 592 + 74 = 666
Step 10: 666 + 74 = 740
Step 11: 740 + 74 = 814
Step 12: 814 + 74 = 888
Step 13: 888 + 74 = 962
Step 14: 962 + 74 = 1036
Step 15: 1036 + 74 = 1110
Step 16: 1110 + 74 = 1184
Step 17: 1184 + 74 = 1258

So, 74*17 = 1258
