Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 262. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 31. So, we're going to take the number 262 and add it to itself 31 times.
Step 1: 0 + 262 = 262
Step 2: 262 + 262 = 524
Step 3: 524 + 262 = 786
Step 4: 786 + 262 = 1048
Step 5: 1048 + 262 = 1310
Step 6: 1310 + 262 = 1572
Step 7: 1572 + 262 = 1834
Step 8: 1834 + 262 = 2096
Step 9: 2096 + 262 = 2358
Step 10: 2358 + 262 = 2620
Step 11: 2620 + 262 = 2882
Step 12: 2882 + 262 = 3144
Step 13: 3144 + 262 = 3406
Step 14: 3406 + 262 = 3668
Step 15: 3668 + 262 = 3930
Step 16: 3930 + 262 = 4192
Step 17: 4192 + 262 = 4454
Step 18: 4454 + 262 = 4716
Step 19: 4716 + 262 = 4978
Step 20: 4978 + 262 = 5240
Step 21: 5240 + 262 = 5502
Step 22: 5502 + 262 = 5764
Step 23: 5764 + 262 = 6026
Step 24: 6026 + 262 = 6288
Step 25: 6288 + 262 = 6550
Step 26: 6550 + 262 = 6812
Step 27: 6812 + 262 = 7074
Step 28: 7074 + 262 = 7336
Step 29: 7336 + 262 = 7598
Step 30: 7598 + 262 = 7860
Step 31: 7860 + 262 = 8122

So, 262*31 = 8122
