Sure thing, let's get straight to it. We start with 178 and we're going to multiply it by 30, which means adding 178 to itself 30 times.
Step 1: 0 + 178 = 178
Step 2: 178 + 178 = 356
Step 3: 356 + 178 = 534
Step 4: 534 + 178 = 712
Step 5: 712 + 178 = 890
Step 6: 890 + 178 = 1068
Step 7: 1068 + 178 = 1246
Step 8: 1246 + 178 = 1424
Step 9: 1424 + 178 = 1602
Step 10: 1602 + 178 = 1780
Step 11: 1780 + 178 = 1958
Step 12: 1958 + 178 = 2136
Step 13: 2136 + 178 = 2314
Step 14: 2314 + 178 = 2492
Step 15: 2492 + 178 = 2670
Step 16: 2670 + 178 = 2848
Step 17: 2848 + 178 = 3026
Step 18: 3026 + 178 = 3204
Step 19: 3204 + 178 = 3382
Step 20: 3382 + 178 = 3560
Step 21: 3560 + 178 = 3738
Step 22: 3738 + 178 = 3916
Step 23: 3916 + 178 = 4094
Step 24: 4094 + 178 = 4272
Step 25: 4272 + 178 = 4450
Step 26: 4450 + 178 = 4628
Step 27: 4628 + 178 = 4806
Step 28: 4806 + 178 = 4984
Step 29: 4984 + 178 = 5162
Step 30: 5162 + 178 = 5340

So, 178*30 = 5340
