Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 296. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 30. So, we're going to take the number 296 and add it to itself 30 times.
Step 1: 0 + 296 = 296
Step 2: 296 + 296 = 592
Step 3: 592 + 296 = 888
Step 4: 888 + 296 = 1184
Step 5: 1184 + 296 = 1480
Step 6: 1480 + 296 = 1776
Step 7: 1776 + 296 = 2072
Step 8: 2072 + 296 = 2368
Step 9: 2368 + 296 = 2664
Step 10: 2664 + 296 = 2960
Step 11: 2960 + 296 = 3256
Step 12: 3256 + 296 = 3552
Step 13: 3552 + 296 = 3848
Step 14: 3848 + 296 = 4144
Step 15: 4144 + 296 = 4440
Step 16: 4440 + 296 = 4736
Step 17: 4736 + 296 = 5032
Step 18: 5032 + 296 = 5328
Step 19: 5328 + 296 = 5624
Step 20: 5624 + 296 = 5920
Step 21: 5920 + 296 = 6216
Step 22: 6216 + 296 = 6512
Step 23: 6512 + 296 = 6808
Step 24: 6808 + 296 = 7104
Step 25: 7104 + 296 = 7400
Step 26: 7400 + 296 = 7696
Step 27: 7696 + 296 = 7992
Step 28: 7992 + 296 = 8288
Step 29: 8288 + 296 = 8584
Step 30: 8584 + 296 = 8880

So, 296*30 = 8880
