Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 198. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 44. So, we're going to take the number 198 and add it to itself 44 times.
Step 1: 0 + 198 = 198
Step 2: 198 + 198 = 396
Step 3: 396 + 198 = 594
Step 4: 594 + 198 = 792
Step 5: 792 + 198 = 990
Step 6: 990 + 198 = 1188
Step 7: 1188 + 198 = 1386
Step 8: 1386 + 198 = 1584
Step 9: 1584 + 198 = 1782
Step 10: 1782 + 198 = 1980
Step 11: 1980 + 198 = 2178
Step 12: 2178 + 198 = 2376
Step 13: 2376 + 198 = 2574
Step 14: 2574 + 198 = 2772
Step 15: 2772 + 198 = 2970
Step 16: 2970 + 198 = 3168
Step 17: 3168 + 198 = 3366
Step 18: 3366 + 198 = 3564
Step 19: 3564 + 198 = 3762
Step 20: 3762 + 198 = 3960
Step 21: 3960 + 198 = 4158
Step 22: 4158 + 198 = 4356
Step 23: 4356 + 198 = 4554
Step 24: 4554 + 198 = 4752
Step 25: 4752 + 198 = 4950
Step 26: 4950 + 198 = 5148
Step 27: 5148 + 198 = 5346
Step 28: 5346 + 198 = 5544
Step 29: 5544 + 198 = 5742
Step 30: 5742 + 198 = 5940
Step 31: 5940 + 198 = 6138
Step 32: 6138 + 198 = 6336
Step 33: 6336 + 198 = 6534
Step 34: 6534 + 198 = 6732
Step 35: 6732 + 198 = 6930
Step 36: 6930 + 198 = 7128
Step 37: 7128 + 198 = 7326
Step 38: 7326 + 198 = 7524
Step 39: 7524 + 198 = 7722
Step 40: 7722 + 198 = 7920
Step 41: 7920 + 198 = 8118
Step 42: 8118 + 198 = 8316
Step 43: 8316 + 198 = 8514
Step 44: 8514 + 198 = 8712

So, 198*44 = 8712
