Let's get this math done. We have 205 and we're going to multiply it by 9. This is the same as taking 205 and adding it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 205 = 205
Step 2: 205 + 205 = 410
Step 3: 410 + 205 = 615
Step 4: 615 + 205 = 820
Step 5: 820 + 205 = 1025
Step 6: 1025 + 205 = 1230
Step 7: 1230 + 205 = 1435
Step 8: 1435 + 205 = 1640
Step 9: 1640 + 205 = 1845

So, 205*9 = 1845
