Let's roll up our sleeves and solve this. We have 612 and we're going to multiply it by 8, essentially adding 612 to itself 8 times.
Step 1: 0 + 612 = 612
Step 2: 612 + 612 = 1224
Step 3: 1224 + 612 = 1836
Step 4: 1836 + 612 = 2448
Step 5: 2448 + 612 = 3060
Step 6: 3060 + 612 = 3672
Step 7: 3672 + 612 = 4284
Step 8: 4284 + 612 = 4896

So, 612*8 = 4896
