Let's get this math done. We have 262 and we're going to multiply it by 9. This is the same as taking 262 and adding it to itself 9 times.
Step 1: 0 + 262 = 262
Step 2: 262 + 262 = 524
Step 3: 524 + 262 = 786
Step 4: 786 + 262 = 1048
Step 5: 1048 + 262 = 1310
Step 6: 1310 + 262 = 1572
Step 7: 1572 + 262 = 1834
Step 8: 1834 + 262 = 2096
Step 9: 2096 + 262 = 2358

So, 262*9 = 2358
