Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 288. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 23. So, we're going to take the number 288 and add it to itself 23 times.
Step 1: 0 + 288 = 288
Step 2: 288 + 288 = 576
Step 3: 576 + 288 = 864
Step 4: 864 + 288 = 1152
Step 5: 1152 + 288 = 1440
Step 6: 1440 + 288 = 1728
Step 7: 1728 + 288 = 2016
Step 8: 2016 + 288 = 2304
Step 9: 2304 + 288 = 2592
Step 10: 2592 + 288 = 2880
Step 11: 2880 + 288 = 3168
Step 12: 3168 + 288 = 3456
Step 13: 3456 + 288 = 3744
Step 14: 3744 + 288 = 4032
Step 15: 4032 + 288 = 4320
Step 16: 4320 + 288 = 4608
Step 17: 4608 + 288 = 4896
Step 18: 4896 + 288 = 5184
Step 19: 5184 + 288 = 5472
Step 20: 5472 + 288 = 5760
Step 21: 5760 + 288 = 6048
Step 22: 6048 + 288 = 6336
Step 23: 6336 + 288 = 6624

So, 288*23 = 6624
