142880 ÷ 35 
Our goal is to divide 142880 by 35.

Moving on to step 1:
1 divided by 35 is 0 with a remainder of 1.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 1 to get 1.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 1, then repeat: 14 / 35

Advancing to step 2:
35 can be fit into 14 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Include the next digit (2) from the dividend after 14, then repeat: 142 / 35

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 142 by 35, we get 4 with a remainder of 2.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we take 140 away from 142, we end up with 2.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 2, then repeat: 28 / 35

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 28 by 35, we get 0 with a remainder of 28.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 40.0
Deduct 0 from 28 and we're left with 28.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 28 and continue: 288 / 35

Going ahead to step 5:
35 can be fit into 288 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 8.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 408.0
Subtract 280 from 288 to get 8.
Append the next digit (0) from the dividend to 8 and continue with: 80 / 35

Step 6:
When dividing 80 by 35, we get 2 with a remainder of 10.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4082.0
Subtracting 70 from 80 leaves us 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.

Step 7:
100 divided by 35 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 4082.2
If we subtract 70 from 100, we get 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
300 divided by 35 is 8 with a remainder of 20.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 4082.28
Subtracting 280 from 300 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 9:
35 goes into 200 5 times with a remainder of 25.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 4082.285
If we take 175 away from 200, we end up with 25.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 250, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 10:
250 divided by 35 is 7 with a remainder of 5.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4082.2857
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 245 from 250.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

On to step 11:
If we divide 50 by 35, we get 1 and a remainder of 15.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4082.28571
Deduct 35 from 50 and we're left with 15.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 150, and continue the process.

Step 12:
The number 35 fits into 150 4 times, leaving a remainder of 10.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4082.285714
Subtract 140 from 150 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Step 13:
100 divided by 35 is 2 with a remainder of 30.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4082.2857142
Subtracting 70 from 100 leaves us with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 14:
35 can be fit into 300 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 20.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 4082.28571428
Subtracting 280 from 300 leaves us with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 4082.28571428 with a balance of 2e-08.
