Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 259. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 22. So, we're going to take the number 259 and add it to itself 22 times.
Step 1: 0 + 259 = 259
Step 2: 259 + 259 = 518
Step 3: 518 + 259 = 777
Step 4: 777 + 259 = 1036
Step 5: 1036 + 259 = 1295
Step 6: 1295 + 259 = 1554
Step 7: 1554 + 259 = 1813
Step 8: 1813 + 259 = 2072
Step 9: 2072 + 259 = 2331
Step 10: 2331 + 259 = 2590
Step 11: 2590 + 259 = 2849
Step 12: 2849 + 259 = 3108
Step 13: 3108 + 259 = 3367
Step 14: 3367 + 259 = 3626
Step 15: 3626 + 259 = 3885
Step 16: 3885 + 259 = 4144
Step 17: 4144 + 259 = 4403
Step 18: 4403 + 259 = 4662
Step 19: 4662 + 259 = 4921
Step 20: 4921 + 259 = 5180
Step 21: 5180 + 259 = 5439
Step 22: 5439 + 259 = 5698

So, 259*22 = 5698
