Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 497. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 32. So, we're going to take the number 497 and add it to itself 32 times.
Step 1: 0 + 497 = 497
Step 2: 497 + 497 = 994
Step 3: 994 + 497 = 1491
Step 4: 1491 + 497 = 1988
Step 5: 1988 + 497 = 2485
Step 6: 2485 + 497 = 2982
Step 7: 2982 + 497 = 3479
Step 8: 3479 + 497 = 3976
Step 9: 3976 + 497 = 4473
Step 10: 4473 + 497 = 4970
Step 11: 4970 + 497 = 5467
Step 12: 5467 + 497 = 5964
Step 13: 5964 + 497 = 6461
Step 14: 6461 + 497 = 6958
Step 15: 6958 + 497 = 7455
Step 16: 7455 + 497 = 7952
Step 17: 7952 + 497 = 8449
Step 18: 8449 + 497 = 8946
Step 19: 8946 + 497 = 9443
Step 20: 9443 + 497 = 9940
Step 21: 9940 + 497 = 10437
Step 22: 10437 + 497 = 10934
Step 23: 10934 + 497 = 11431
Step 24: 11431 + 497 = 11928
Step 25: 11928 + 497 = 12425
Step 26: 12425 + 497 = 12922
Step 27: 12922 + 497 = 13419
Step 28: 13419 + 497 = 13916
Step 29: 13916 + 497 = 14413
Step 30: 14413 + 497 = 14910
Step 31: 14910 + 497 = 15407
Step 32: 15407 + 497 = 15904

So, 497*32 = 15904
