OK, let's work through this together. We're starting with 952 and we're going to multiply it by 26, which means we add 952 to itself 26 times.
Step 1: 0 + 952 = 952
Step 2: 952 + 952 = 1904
Step 3: 1904 + 952 = 2856
Step 4: 2856 + 952 = 3808
Step 5: 3808 + 952 = 4760
Step 6: 4760 + 952 = 5712
Step 7: 5712 + 952 = 6664
Step 8: 6664 + 952 = 7616
Step 9: 7616 + 952 = 8568
Step 10: 8568 + 952 = 9520
Step 11: 9520 + 952 = 10472
Step 12: 10472 + 952 = 11424
Step 13: 11424 + 952 = 12376
Step 14: 12376 + 952 = 13328
Step 15: 13328 + 952 = 14280
Step 16: 14280 + 952 = 15232
Step 17: 15232 + 952 = 16184
Step 18: 16184 + 952 = 17136
Step 19: 17136 + 952 = 18088
Step 20: 18088 + 952 = 19040
Step 21: 19040 + 952 = 19992
Step 22: 19992 + 952 = 20944
Step 23: 20944 + 952 = 21896
Step 24: 21896 + 952 = 22848
Step 25: 22848 + 952 = 23800
Step 26: 23800 + 952 = 24752

So, 952*26 = 24752
