Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 724 and we're going to multiply it by 23, which means adding 724 to itself 23 times.
Step 1: 0 + 724 = 724
Step 2: 724 + 724 = 1448
Step 3: 1448 + 724 = 2172
Step 4: 2172 + 724 = 2896
Step 5: 2896 + 724 = 3620
Step 6: 3620 + 724 = 4344
Step 7: 4344 + 724 = 5068
Step 8: 5068 + 724 = 5792
Step 9: 5792 + 724 = 6516
Step 10: 6516 + 724 = 7240
Step 11: 7240 + 724 = 7964
Step 12: 7964 + 724 = 8688
Step 13: 8688 + 724 = 9412
Step 14: 9412 + 724 = 10136
Step 15: 10136 + 724 = 10860
Step 16: 10860 + 724 = 11584
Step 17: 11584 + 724 = 12308
Step 18: 12308 + 724 = 13032
Step 19: 13032 + 724 = 13756
Step 20: 13756 + 724 = 14480
Step 21: 14480 + 724 = 15204
Step 22: 15204 + 724 = 15928
Step 23: 15928 + 724 = 16652

So, 724*23 = 16652
