Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 297. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 18. So, we're going to take the number 297 and add it to itself 18 times.
Step 1: 0 + 297 = 297
Step 2: 297 + 297 = 594
Step 3: 594 + 297 = 891
Step 4: 891 + 297 = 1188
Step 5: 1188 + 297 = 1485
Step 6: 1485 + 297 = 1782
Step 7: 1782 + 297 = 2079
Step 8: 2079 + 297 = 2376
Step 9: 2376 + 297 = 2673
Step 10: 2673 + 297 = 2970
Step 11: 2970 + 297 = 3267
Step 12: 3267 + 297 = 3564
Step 13: 3564 + 297 = 3861
Step 14: 3861 + 297 = 4158
Step 15: 4158 + 297 = 4455
Step 16: 4455 + 297 = 4752
Step 17: 4752 + 297 = 5049
Step 18: 5049 + 297 = 5346

So, 297*18 = 5346
