Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 379 and we're going to multiply it by 26, essentially adding 379 to itself 26 times.
Step 1: 0 + 379 = 379
Step 2: 379 + 379 = 758
Step 3: 758 + 379 = 1137
Step 4: 1137 + 379 = 1516
Step 5: 1516 + 379 = 1895
Step 6: 1895 + 379 = 2274
Step 7: 2274 + 379 = 2653
Step 8: 2653 + 379 = 3032
Step 9: 3032 + 379 = 3411
Step 10: 3411 + 379 = 3790
Step 11: 3790 + 379 = 4169
Step 12: 4169 + 379 = 4548
Step 13: 4548 + 379 = 4927
Step 14: 4927 + 379 = 5306
Step 15: 5306 + 379 = 5685
Step 16: 5685 + 379 = 6064
Step 17: 6064 + 379 = 6443
Step 18: 6443 + 379 = 6822
Step 19: 6822 + 379 = 7201
Step 20: 7201 + 379 = 7580
Step 21: 7580 + 379 = 7959
Step 22: 7959 + 379 = 8338
Step 23: 8338 + 379 = 8717
Step 24: 8717 + 379 = 9096
Step 25: 9096 + 379 = 9475
Step 26: 9475 + 379 = 9854

So, 379*26 = 9854
