What is half of 62?

Step 1: Write the division problem

We need to divide 62 by 2:

                                     62÷2

Step 2: Perform the division

We divide the number 62 by 2, and here’s how it works:

• 2 goes into 6 (the first digit of 62) 3 times because 2×3=6
• After subtracting 6 from 6, we are left with 0, and bring down the next digit, which is 2.
• 2 goes into 2 1 time because 2×1=2.

Step 3: Combine the results

Now, putting the two results together:

• 3 (from the first part) and 1 (from the second part) give us 31.

So, half of 62 is 31.
