OK, let's crack this. We're given 747 and our task is to multiply it by 8. Essentially, we'll be adding 747 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 747 = 747
Step 2: 747 + 747 = 1494
Step 3: 1494 + 747 = 2241
Step 4: 2241 + 747 = 2988
Step 5: 2988 + 747 = 3735
Step 6: 3735 + 747 = 4482
Step 7: 4482 + 747 = 5229
Step 8: 5229 + 747 = 5976

So, 747*8 = 5976
