OK, let's crack this. We're given 41 and our task is to multiply it by 53. Essentially, we'll be adding 41 to itself 53 times.
Step 1: 0 + 41 = 41
Step 2: 41 + 41 = 82
Step 3: 82 + 41 = 123
Step 4: 123 + 41 = 164
Step 5: 164 + 41 = 205
Step 6: 205 + 41 = 246
Step 7: 246 + 41 = 287
Step 8: 287 + 41 = 328
Step 9: 328 + 41 = 369
Step 10: 369 + 41 = 410
Step 11: 410 + 41 = 451
Step 12: 451 + 41 = 492
Step 13: 492 + 41 = 533
Step 14: 533 + 41 = 574
Step 15: 574 + 41 = 615
Step 16: 615 + 41 = 656
Step 17: 656 + 41 = 697
Step 18: 697 + 41 = 738
Step 19: 738 + 41 = 779
Step 20: 779 + 41 = 820
Step 21: 820 + 41 = 861
Step 22: 861 + 41 = 902
Step 23: 902 + 41 = 943
Step 24: 943 + 41 = 984
Step 25: 984 + 41 = 1025
Step 26: 1025 + 41 = 1066
Step 27: 1066 + 41 = 1107
Step 28: 1107 + 41 = 1148
Step 29: 1148 + 41 = 1189
Step 30: 1189 + 41 = 1230
Step 31: 1230 + 41 = 1271
Step 32: 1271 + 41 = 1312
Step 33: 1312 + 41 = 1353
Step 34: 1353 + 41 = 1394
Step 35: 1394 + 41 = 1435
Step 36: 1435 + 41 = 1476
Step 37: 1476 + 41 = 1517
Step 38: 1517 + 41 = 1558
Step 39: 1558 + 41 = 1599
Step 40: 1599 + 41 = 1640
Step 41: 1640 + 41 = 1681
Step 42: 1681 + 41 = 1722
Step 43: 1722 + 41 = 1763
Step 44: 1763 + 41 = 1804
Step 45: 1804 + 41 = 1845
Step 46: 1845 + 41 = 1886
Step 47: 1886 + 41 = 1927
Step 48: 1927 + 41 = 1968
Step 49: 1968 + 41 = 2009
Step 50: 2009 + 41 = 2050
Step 51: 2050 + 41 = 2091
Step 52: 2091 + 41 = 2132
Step 53: 2132 + 41 = 2173

So, 41*53 = 2173
