Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 397. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 31. So, we're going to take the number 397 and add it to itself 31 times.
Step 1: 0 + 397 = 397
Step 2: 397 + 397 = 794
Step 3: 794 + 397 = 1191
Step 4: 1191 + 397 = 1588
Step 5: 1588 + 397 = 1985
Step 6: 1985 + 397 = 2382
Step 7: 2382 + 397 = 2779
Step 8: 2779 + 397 = 3176
Step 9: 3176 + 397 = 3573
Step 10: 3573 + 397 = 3970
Step 11: 3970 + 397 = 4367
Step 12: 4367 + 397 = 4764
Step 13: 4764 + 397 = 5161
Step 14: 5161 + 397 = 5558
Step 15: 5558 + 397 = 5955
Step 16: 5955 + 397 = 6352
Step 17: 6352 + 397 = 6749
Step 18: 6749 + 397 = 7146
Step 19: 7146 + 397 = 7543
Step 20: 7543 + 397 = 7940
Step 21: 7940 + 397 = 8337
Step 22: 8337 + 397 = 8734
Step 23: 8734 + 397 = 9131
Step 24: 9131 + 397 = 9528
Step 25: 9528 + 397 = 9925
Step 26: 9925 + 397 = 10322
Step 27: 10322 + 397 = 10719
Step 28: 10719 + 397 = 11116
Step 29: 11116 + 397 = 11513
Step 30: 11513 + 397 = 11910
Step 31: 11910 + 397 = 12307

So, 397*31 = 12307
