let ABCDEFG be your phone #, each letter is a digit

step 1.
ABC

step 2.
ABC * 80

step 3.
(ABC * 80) + 1

step 4.
((ABC * 80) + 1) * 250
which is
(ABC * 20000) + 250
which is
(2 * ABC0000) + 250

step 5.
(2 * ABC0000) + 250 + DEFG

step 6.
(2 * ABC0000) + 250 + DEFG + DEFG
which is
(2 * ABC0000) + 250 + (2 * DEFG)
which is
(2 * ABCDEFG) + 250

step 7.
2 * ABCDEFG

step 8.
ABCDEFG
