Here's an easy example:

RoyalBlue Box LimeGreen Box MidnightBlue Box MediumTurquoise Box Cyan Box Aqua Box Indigo Box times Black Box Box equals Coral Box RoyalBlue Box LimeGreen Box MidnightBlue Box MediumTurquoise Box Cyan Box Aqua Box

We start with seven boxes, multiply by one box, and now still have seven boxes.

Here's another example:
