Let's get this math done. We have 988 and we're going to multiply it by 6. This is the same as taking 988 and adding it to itself 6 times.
Step 1: 0 + 988 = 988
Step 2: 988 + 988 = 1976
Step 3: 1976 + 988 = 2964
Step 4: 2964 + 988 = 3952
Step 5: 3952 + 988 = 4940
Step 6: 4940 + 988 = 5928

So, 988*6 = 5928
