OK, let's crack this. We're given 129 and our task is to multiply it by 17. Essentially, we'll be adding 129 to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 129 = 129
Step 2: 129 + 129 = 258
Step 3: 258 + 129 = 387
Step 4: 387 + 129 = 516
Step 5: 516 + 129 = 645
Step 6: 645 + 129 = 774
Step 7: 774 + 129 = 903
Step 8: 903 + 129 = 1032
Step 9: 1032 + 129 = 1161
Step 10: 1161 + 129 = 1290
Step 11: 1290 + 129 = 1419
Step 12: 1419 + 129 = 1548
Step 13: 1548 + 129 = 1677
Step 14: 1677 + 129 = 1806
Step 15: 1806 + 129 = 1935
Step 16: 1935 + 129 = 2064
Step 17: 2064 + 129 = 2193

So, 129*17 = 2193
