OK, let's crack this. We're given 554 and our task is to multiply it by 14. Essentially, we'll be adding 554 to itself 14 times.
Step 1: 0 + 554 = 554
Step 2: 554 + 554 = 1108
Step 3: 1108 + 554 = 1662
Step 4: 1662 + 554 = 2216
Step 5: 2216 + 554 = 2770
Step 6: 2770 + 554 = 3324
Step 7: 3324 + 554 = 3878
Step 8: 3878 + 554 = 4432
Step 9: 4432 + 554 = 4986
Step 10: 4986 + 554 = 5540
Step 11: 5540 + 554 = 6094
Step 12: 6094 + 554 = 6648
Step 13: 6648 + 554 = 7202
Step 14: 7202 + 554 = 7756

So, 554*14 = 7756
