Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 942 and we're going to multiply it by 26, essentially adding 942 to itself 26 times.
Step 1: 0 + 942 = 942
Step 2: 942 + 942 = 1884
Step 3: 1884 + 942 = 2826
Step 4: 2826 + 942 = 3768
Step 5: 3768 + 942 = 4710
Step 6: 4710 + 942 = 5652
Step 7: 5652 + 942 = 6594
Step 8: 6594 + 942 = 7536
Step 9: 7536 + 942 = 8478
Step 10: 8478 + 942 = 9420
Step 11: 9420 + 942 = 10362
Step 12: 10362 + 942 = 11304
Step 13: 11304 + 942 = 12246
Step 14: 12246 + 942 = 13188
Step 15: 13188 + 942 = 14130
Step 16: 14130 + 942 = 15072
Step 17: 15072 + 942 = 16014
Step 18: 16014 + 942 = 16956
Step 19: 16956 + 942 = 17898
Step 20: 17898 + 942 = 18840
Step 21: 18840 + 942 = 19782
Step 22: 19782 + 942 = 20724
Step 23: 20724 + 942 = 21666
Step 24: 21666 + 942 = 22608
Step 25: 22608 + 942 = 23550
Step 26: 23550 + 942 = 24492

So, 942*26 = 24492
