Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 518 and we're going to multiply it by 26, essentially adding 518 to itself 26 times.
Step 1: 0 + 518 = 518
Step 2: 518 + 518 = 1036
Step 3: 1036 + 518 = 1554
Step 4: 1554 + 518 = 2072
Step 5: 2072 + 518 = 2590
Step 6: 2590 + 518 = 3108
Step 7: 3108 + 518 = 3626
Step 8: 3626 + 518 = 4144
Step 9: 4144 + 518 = 4662
Step 10: 4662 + 518 = 5180
Step 11: 5180 + 518 = 5698
Step 12: 5698 + 518 = 6216
Step 13: 6216 + 518 = 6734
Step 14: 6734 + 518 = 7252
Step 15: 7252 + 518 = 7770
Step 16: 7770 + 518 = 8288
Step 17: 8288 + 518 = 8806
Step 18: 8806 + 518 = 9324
Step 19: 9324 + 518 = 9842
Step 20: 9842 + 518 = 10360
Step 21: 10360 + 518 = 10878
Step 22: 10878 + 518 = 11396
Step 23: 11396 + 518 = 11914
Step 24: 11914 + 518 = 12432
Step 25: 12432 + 518 = 12950
Step 26: 12950 + 518 = 13468

So, 518*26 = 13468
