OK, let's crack this. We're given 509 and our task is to multiply it by 13. Essentially, we'll be adding 509 to itself 13 times.
Step 1: 0 + 509 = 509
Step 2: 509 + 509 = 1018
Step 3: 1018 + 509 = 1527
Step 4: 1527 + 509 = 2036
Step 5: 2036 + 509 = 2545
Step 6: 2545 + 509 = 3054
Step 7: 3054 + 509 = 3563
Step 8: 3563 + 509 = 4072
Step 9: 4072 + 509 = 4581
Step 10: 4581 + 509 = 5090
Step 11: 5090 + 509 = 5599
Step 12: 5599 + 509 = 6108
Step 13: 6108 + 509 = 6617

So, 509*13 = 6617
