Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 269 and we're going to multiply it by 42, essentially adding 269 to itself 42 times.
Step 1: 0 + 269 = 269
Step 2: 269 + 269 = 538
Step 3: 538 + 269 = 807
Step 4: 807 + 269 = 1076
Step 5: 1076 + 269 = 1345
Step 6: 1345 + 269 = 1614
Step 7: 1614 + 269 = 1883
Step 8: 1883 + 269 = 2152
Step 9: 2152 + 269 = 2421
Step 10: 2421 + 269 = 2690
Step 11: 2690 + 269 = 2959
Step 12: 2959 + 269 = 3228
Step 13: 3228 + 269 = 3497
Step 14: 3497 + 269 = 3766
Step 15: 3766 + 269 = 4035
Step 16: 4035 + 269 = 4304
Step 17: 4304 + 269 = 4573
Step 18: 4573 + 269 = 4842
Step 19: 4842 + 269 = 5111
Step 20: 5111 + 269 = 5380
Step 21: 5380 + 269 = 5649
Step 22: 5649 + 269 = 5918
Step 23: 5918 + 269 = 6187
Step 24: 6187 + 269 = 6456
Step 25: 6456 + 269 = 6725
Step 26: 6725 + 269 = 6994
Step 27: 6994 + 269 = 7263
Step 28: 7263 + 269 = 7532
Step 29: 7532 + 269 = 7801
Step 30: 7801 + 269 = 8070
Step 31: 8070 + 269 = 8339
Step 32: 8339 + 269 = 8608
Step 33: 8608 + 269 = 8877
Step 34: 8877 + 269 = 9146
Step 35: 9146 + 269 = 9415
Step 36: 9415 + 269 = 9684
Step 37: 9684 + 269 = 9953
Step 38: 9953 + 269 = 10222
Step 39: 10222 + 269 = 10491
Step 40: 10491 + 269 = 10760
Step 41: 10760 + 269 = 11029
Step 42: 11029 + 269 = 11298

So, 269*42 = 11298
