Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 286. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 26. So, we're going to take the number 286 and add it to itself 26 times.
Step 1: 0 + 286 = 286
Step 2: 286 + 286 = 572
Step 3: 572 + 286 = 858
Step 4: 858 + 286 = 1144
Step 5: 1144 + 286 = 1430
Step 6: 1430 + 286 = 1716
Step 7: 1716 + 286 = 2002
Step 8: 2002 + 286 = 2288
Step 9: 2288 + 286 = 2574
Step 10: 2574 + 286 = 2860
Step 11: 2860 + 286 = 3146
Step 12: 3146 + 286 = 3432
Step 13: 3432 + 286 = 3718
Step 14: 3718 + 286 = 4004
Step 15: 4004 + 286 = 4290
Step 16: 4290 + 286 = 4576
Step 17: 4576 + 286 = 4862
Step 18: 4862 + 286 = 5148
Step 19: 5148 + 286 = 5434
Step 20: 5434 + 286 = 5720
Step 21: 5720 + 286 = 6006
Step 22: 6006 + 286 = 6292
Step 23: 6292 + 286 = 6578
Step 24: 6578 + 286 = 6864
Step 25: 6864 + 286 = 7150
Step 26: 7150 + 286 = 7436

So, 286*26 = 7436
