Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 44. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 40. So, we're going to take the number 44 and add it to itself 40 times.
Step 1: 0 + 44 = 44
Step 2: 44 + 44 = 88
Step 3: 88 + 44 = 132
Step 4: 132 + 44 = 176
Step 5: 176 + 44 = 220
Step 6: 220 + 44 = 264
Step 7: 264 + 44 = 308
Step 8: 308 + 44 = 352
Step 9: 352 + 44 = 396
Step 10: 396 + 44 = 440
Step 11: 440 + 44 = 484
Step 12: 484 + 44 = 528
Step 13: 528 + 44 = 572
Step 14: 572 + 44 = 616
Step 15: 616 + 44 = 660
Step 16: 660 + 44 = 704
Step 17: 704 + 44 = 748
Step 18: 748 + 44 = 792
Step 19: 792 + 44 = 836
Step 20: 836 + 44 = 880
Step 21: 880 + 44 = 924
Step 22: 924 + 44 = 968
Step 23: 968 + 44 = 1012
Step 24: 1012 + 44 = 1056
Step 25: 1056 + 44 = 1100
Step 26: 1100 + 44 = 1144
Step 27: 1144 + 44 = 1188
Step 28: 1188 + 44 = 1232
Step 29: 1232 + 44 = 1276
Step 30: 1276 + 44 = 1320
Step 31: 1320 + 44 = 1364
Step 32: 1364 + 44 = 1408
Step 33: 1408 + 44 = 1452
Step 34: 1452 + 44 = 1496
Step 35: 1496 + 44 = 1540
Step 36: 1540 + 44 = 1584
Step 37: 1584 + 44 = 1628
Step 38: 1628 + 44 = 1672
Step 39: 1672 + 44 = 1716
Step 40: 1716 + 44 = 1760

So, 44*40 = 1760
