See below.

Explanation:

Since this equation has a whole number being multiplied by a fraction, you must first make that whole number into a fraction as well. Let's pretend the number is 2. 2 is the same as if you had instead written 21. So, 17 would be the same thing as if you had written 171. This is because it is saying that 1 can go into 17, 17 times.

The equation you have now is

17114

Now, to multiply a fraction, you must multiply the numerators by the numerators, and the denominaters by the denominaters.

17114

From this, you will get the fraction 174, which is your answer.
