Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 517 and we're going to multiply it by 31, which means adding 517 to itself 31 times.
Step 1: 0 + 517 = 517
Step 2: 517 + 517 = 1034
Step 3: 1034 + 517 = 1551
Step 4: 1551 + 517 = 2068
Step 5: 2068 + 517 = 2585
Step 6: 2585 + 517 = 3102
Step 7: 3102 + 517 = 3619
Step 8: 3619 + 517 = 4136
Step 9: 4136 + 517 = 4653
Step 10: 4653 + 517 = 5170
Step 11: 5170 + 517 = 5687
Step 12: 5687 + 517 = 6204
Step 13: 6204 + 517 = 6721
Step 14: 6721 + 517 = 7238
Step 15: 7238 + 517 = 7755
Step 16: 7755 + 517 = 8272
Step 17: 8272 + 517 = 8789
Step 18: 8789 + 517 = 9306
Step 19: 9306 + 517 = 9823
Step 20: 9823 + 517 = 10340
Step 21: 10340 + 517 = 10857
Step 22: 10857 + 517 = 11374
Step 23: 11374 + 517 = 11891
Step 24: 11891 + 517 = 12408
Step 25: 12408 + 517 = 12925
Step 26: 12925 + 517 = 13442
Step 27: 13442 + 517 = 13959
Step 28: 13959 + 517 = 14476
Step 29: 14476 + 517 = 14993
Step 30: 14993 + 517 = 15510
Step 31: 15510 + 517 = 16027

So, 517*31 = 16027
