Sure thing! We've got 249 and we're gonna multiply it by 9. That's the same as adding 249 to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 249 = 249
Step 2: 249 + 249 = 498
Step 3: 498 + 249 = 747
Step 4: 747 + 249 = 996
Step 5: 996 + 249 = 1245
Step 6: 1245 + 249 = 1494
Step 7: 1494 + 249 = 1743
Step 8: 1743 + 249 = 1992
Step 9: 1992 + 249 = 2241

So, 249*9 = 2241
