OK, let's crack this. We're given 601 and our task is to multiply it by 18. Essentially, we'll be adding 601 to itself 18 times.
Step 1: 0 + 601 = 601
Step 2: 601 + 601 = 1202
Step 3: 1202 + 601 = 1803
Step 4: 1803 + 601 = 2404
Step 5: 2404 + 601 = 3005
Step 6: 3005 + 601 = 3606
Step 7: 3606 + 601 = 4207
Step 8: 4207 + 601 = 4808
Step 9: 4808 + 601 = 5409
Step 10: 5409 + 601 = 6010
Step 11: 6010 + 601 = 6611
Step 12: 6611 + 601 = 7212
Step 13: 7212 + 601 = 7813
Step 14: 7813 + 601 = 8414
Step 15: 8414 + 601 = 9015
Step 16: 9015 + 601 = 9616
Step 17: 9616 + 601 = 10217
Step 18: 10217 + 601 = 10818

So, 601*18 = 10818
