Let's get this math done. We have 109 and we're going to multiply it by 17. This is the same as taking 109 and adding it to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 109 = 109
Step 2: 109 + 109 = 218
Step 3: 218 + 109 = 327
Step 4: 327 + 109 = 436
Step 5: 436 + 109 = 545
Step 6: 545 + 109 = 654
Step 7: 654 + 109 = 763
Step 8: 763 + 109 = 872
Step 9: 872 + 109 = 981
Step 10: 981 + 109 = 1090
Step 11: 1090 + 109 = 1199
Step 12: 1199 + 109 = 1308
Step 13: 1308 + 109 = 1417
Step 14: 1417 + 109 = 1526
Step 15: 1526 + 109 = 1635
Step 16: 1635 + 109 = 1744
Step 17: 1744 + 109 = 1853

So, 109*17 = 1853
