Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 486. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 17. So, we're going to take the number 486 and add it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 486 = 486
Step 2: 486 + 486 = 972
Step 3: 972 + 486 = 1458
Step 4: 1458 + 486 = 1944
Step 5: 1944 + 486 = 2430
Step 6: 2430 + 486 = 2916
Step 7: 2916 + 486 = 3402
Step 8: 3402 + 486 = 3888
Step 9: 3888 + 486 = 4374
Step 10: 4374 + 486 = 4860
Step 11: 4860 + 486 = 5346
Step 12: 5346 + 486 = 5832
Step 13: 5832 + 486 = 6318
Step 14: 6318 + 486 = 6804
Step 15: 6804 + 486 = 7290
Step 16: 7290 + 486 = 7776
Step 17: 7776 + 486 = 8262

So, 486*17 = 8262
