51 = 3*17
3*17 = 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1)
(2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) + (2+1) = 34 + 17
34 + 17 = 51

I think you skipped a step:
1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1

You miss a couple os steps too.
First, lets define the axioms, we’re using Peano’s for this exercise.
Axiom 1: 0 is a natural number.
Jump to axiom 6, define the succession function s(n) where s(n) = 0 is false, and for brevity s(0) = 1, s(s(0)) = 2 and so on…
