Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 983 and we're going to multiply it by 14, essentially adding 983 to itself 14 times.
Step 1: 0 + 983 = 983
Step 2: 983 + 983 = 1966
Step 3: 1966 + 983 = 2949
Step 4: 2949 + 983 = 3932
Step 5: 3932 + 983 = 4915
Step 6: 4915 + 983 = 5898
Step 7: 5898 + 983 = 6881
Step 8: 6881 + 983 = 7864
Step 9: 7864 + 983 = 8847
Step 10: 8847 + 983 = 9830
Step 11: 9830 + 983 = 10813
Step 12: 10813 + 983 = 11796
Step 13: 11796 + 983 = 12779
Step 14: 12779 + 983 = 13762

So, 983*14 = 13762
