Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 777 and we're going to multiply it by 40, which means adding 777 to itself 40 times.
Step 1: 0 + 777 = 777
Step 2: 777 + 777 = 1554
Step 3: 1554 + 777 = 2331
Step 4: 2331 + 777 = 3108
Step 5: 3108 + 777 = 3885
Step 6: 3885 + 777 = 4662
Step 7: 4662 + 777 = 5439
Step 8: 5439 + 777 = 6216
Step 9: 6216 + 777 = 6993
Step 10: 6993 + 777 = 7770
Step 11: 7770 + 777 = 8547
Step 12: 8547 + 777 = 9324
Step 13: 9324 + 777 = 10101
Step 14: 10101 + 777 = 10878
Step 15: 10878 + 777 = 11655
Step 16: 11655 + 777 = 12432
Step 17: 12432 + 777 = 13209
Step 18: 13209 + 777 = 13986
Step 19: 13986 + 777 = 14763
Step 20: 14763 + 777 = 15540
Step 21: 15540 + 777 = 16317
Step 22: 16317 + 777 = 17094
Step 23: 17094 + 777 = 17871
Step 24: 17871 + 777 = 18648
Step 25: 18648 + 777 = 19425
Step 26: 19425 + 777 = 20202
Step 27: 20202 + 777 = 20979
Step 28: 20979 + 777 = 21756
Step 29: 21756 + 777 = 22533
Step 30: 22533 + 777 = 23310
Step 31: 23310 + 777 = 24087
Step 32: 24087 + 777 = 24864
Step 33: 24864 + 777 = 25641
Step 34: 25641 + 777 = 26418
Step 35: 26418 + 777 = 27195
Step 36: 27195 + 777 = 27972
Step 37: 27972 + 777 = 28749
Step 38: 28749 + 777 = 29526
Step 39: 29526 + 777 = 30303
Step 40: 30303 + 777 = 31080

So, 777*40 = 31080
