62972037 ÷ 31 
We want to figure out the number of times 62972037 can be divided by 31.

Let's proceed to step 1:
31 goes into 6 0 times with a remainder of 6.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 6 leaves us with 6.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 62 / 31

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 31 fits into 62 2 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2.0
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 62 from 62.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 0, then repeat: 9 / 31

Advancing to step 3:
The number 31 fits into 9 0 times, leaving a remainder of 9.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 20.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Grab the next digit (7) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 97 / 31

Moving on to step 4:
31 can be fit into 97 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 203.0
If we take 93 away from 97, we end up with 4.
Take the next digit (2) from the dividend and append it to 4, then repeat: 42 / 31

Moving on to step 5:
31 can be fit into 42 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 11.
Write down 1 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 2031.0
If we subtract 31 from 42, we get 11.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 11 and continue with: 110 / 31

Advancing to step 6:
31 can be fit into 110 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 17.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 20313.0
Subtract 93 from 110 to get 17.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 17 and continue: 173 / 31

Let's proceed to step 7:
When dividing 173 by 31, we get 5 with a remainder of 18.
Put 5 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 203135.0
If we take 155 away from 173, we end up with 18.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 18 and continue: 187 / 31

Moving on to step 8:
187 divided by 31 is 6 with a remainder of 1.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2031356.0
If we take 186 away from 187, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
When dividing 10 by 31, we get 0 with a remainder of 10.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 2031356.0
If we take 0 away from 10, we end up with 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
If we divide 100 by 31, we get 3 and a remainder of 7.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2031356.03
If we take 93 away from 100, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Step 11:
The number 31 fits into 70 2 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 2031356.032
Subtracting 62 from 70 leaves us with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Step 12:
31 goes into 80 2 times with a remainder of 18.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 2031356.0322
If we subtract 62 from 80, we get 18.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 2031356.0322 and a remainder of 0.00018.
