567 = 500+60+7
4*567 = 4*(500+60*7)
4*567 = 4*500 + 4*60 + 4*7 ... see note below
4*567 = 2000 + 240 + 28
4*567 = 2268

note: multiply the outer term 4 by each term inside the parenthesis to use the distributive property. The general distributive property is a*(b+c) = a*b+a*c. This can be extended to a*(b+c+d) = a*b+a*c+a*d. You can have as many terms as you like inside the parenthesis.
