To multiply \(-17\) by \(-61\), you simply multiply the absolute values of the numbers and then apply the rule that the product of two negative numbers is positive.

Calculating the absolute values:
\[
17 \times 61
\]

Now, let's do the multiplication:
\[
17 \times 61 = 1037
\]

Since both numbers are negative, the product is positive:
\[
-17 \times -61 = 1037
\]

Therefore, \(-17 \times -61 = 1037\).
