Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 273 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means adding 273 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 273 = 273
Step 2: 273 + 273 = 546
Step 3: 546 + 273 = 819
Step 4: 819 + 273 = 1092
Step 5: 1092 + 273 = 1365
Step 6: 1365 + 273 = 1638
Step 7: 1638 + 273 = 1911
Step 8: 1911 + 273 = 2184
Step 9: 2184 + 273 = 2457

So, 273*9 = 2457
