Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 481 and we're going to multiply it by 9, which means adding 481 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 481 = 481
Step 2: 481 + 481 = 962
Step 3: 962 + 481 = 1443
Step 4: 1443 + 481 = 1924
Step 5: 1924 + 481 = 2405
Step 6: 2405 + 481 = 2886
Step 7: 2886 + 481 = 3367
Step 8: 3367 + 481 = 3848
Step 9: 3848 + 481 = 4329

So, 481*9 = 4329
