OK, let's crack this. We're given 306 and our task is to multiply it by 17. Essentially, we'll be adding 306 to itself 17 times.
Step 1: 0 + 306 = 306
Step 2: 306 + 306 = 612
Step 3: 612 + 306 = 918
Step 4: 918 + 306 = 1224
Step 5: 1224 + 306 = 1530
Step 6: 1530 + 306 = 1836
Step 7: 1836 + 306 = 2142
Step 8: 2142 + 306 = 2448
Step 9: 2448 + 306 = 2754
Step 10: 2754 + 306 = 3060
Step 11: 3060 + 306 = 3366
Step 12: 3366 + 306 = 3672
Step 13: 3672 + 306 = 3978
Step 14: 3978 + 306 = 4284
Step 15: 4284 + 306 = 4590
Step 16: 4590 + 306 = 4896
Step 17: 4896 + 306 = 5202

So, 306*17 = 5202
