Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 983. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 8. So, we're going to take the number 983 and add it to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 983 = 983
Step 2: 983 + 983 = 1966
Step 3: 1966 + 983 = 2949
Step 4: 2949 + 983 = 3932
Step 5: 3932 + 983 = 4915
Step 6: 4915 + 983 = 5898
Step 7: 5898 + 983 = 6881
Step 8: 6881 + 983 = 7864

So, 983*8 = 7864
