OK, let's crack this. We're given 581 and our task is to multiply it by 28. Essentially, we'll be adding 581 to itself 28 times.
Step 1: 0 + 581 = 581
Step 2: 581 + 581 = 1162
Step 3: 1162 + 581 = 1743
Step 4: 1743 + 581 = 2324
Step 5: 2324 + 581 = 2905
Step 6: 2905 + 581 = 3486
Step 7: 3486 + 581 = 4067
Step 8: 4067 + 581 = 4648
Step 9: 4648 + 581 = 5229
Step 10: 5229 + 581 = 5810
Step 11: 5810 + 581 = 6391
Step 12: 6391 + 581 = 6972
Step 13: 6972 + 581 = 7553
Step 14: 7553 + 581 = 8134
Step 15: 8134 + 581 = 8715
Step 16: 8715 + 581 = 9296
Step 17: 9296 + 581 = 9877
Step 18: 9877 + 581 = 10458
Step 19: 10458 + 581 = 11039
Step 20: 11039 + 581 = 11620
Step 21: 11620 + 581 = 12201
Step 22: 12201 + 581 = 12782
Step 23: 12782 + 581 = 13363
Step 24: 13363 + 581 = 13944
Step 25: 13944 + 581 = 14525
Step 26: 14525 + 581 = 15106
Step 27: 15106 + 581 = 15687
Step 28: 15687 + 581 = 16268

So, 581*28 = 16268
