We're dividing 34078331 by 142 
We're looking to find how many times 142 goes into 34078331.

Let's proceed to step 1:
3 divided by 142 is 0 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 3 leaves us with 3.
Fetch the next digit (4) from the dividend, attach it to 3 and continue: 34 / 142

Advancing to step 2:
When dividing 34 by 142, we get 0 with a remainder of 34.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 34 and we're left with 34.
Include the next digit (0) from the dividend after 34, then repeat: 340 / 142

On to step 3:
142 goes into 340 2 times with a remainder of 56.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2.0
Subtracting 284 from 340 leaves us with 56.
Append the next digit (7) from the dividend to 56 and continue with: 567 / 142

Advancing to step 4:
142 can be fit into 567 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 141.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 23.0
Deduct 426 from 567 and we're left with 141.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 141 and continue with: 1418 / 142

On to step 5:
1418 divided by 142 is 9 with a remainder of 140.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 239.0
Deduct 1278 from 1418 and we're left with 140.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 140, then repeat: 1403 / 142

Moving on to step 6:
The number 142 fits into 1403 9 times, leaving a remainder of 125.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 2399.0
Deduct 1278 from 1403 and we're left with 125.
Grab the next digit (3) from the dividend, add it to 125, then carry on: 1253 / 142

Let's proceed to step 7:
142 can be fit into 1253 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 117.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 23998.0
Subtract 1136 from 1253 to get 117.
Include the next digit (1) from the dividend after 117, then repeat: 1171 / 142

Let's proceed to step 8:
The number 142 fits into 1171 8 times, leaving a remainder of 35.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 239988.0
The remainder is 35 after subtracting 1136 from 1171.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 350, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
If we divide 350 by 142, we get 2 and a remainder of 66.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 239988.2
If we subtract 284 from 350, we get 66.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 660, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 10:
142 can be fit into 660 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 92.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 239988.24
If we subtract 568 from 660, we get 92.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 920, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 920 by 142, we get 6 and a remainder of 68.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 239988.246
Deduct 852 from 920 and we're left with 68.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 680, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 12:
If we divide 680 by 142, we get 4 and a remainder of 112.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 239988.2464
Subtracting 568 from 680 leaves us with 112.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1120, and continue the process.

Step 13:
When dividing 1120 by 142, we get 7 with a remainder of 126.
The number 7 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 239988.24647
The remainder is 126 after subtracting 994 from 1120.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1260, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 14:
142 can be fit into 1260 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 124.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 239988.246478
The remainder is 124 after subtracting 1136 from 1260.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1240, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 1240 by 142, we get 8 with a remainder of 104.
The number 8 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 239988.2464788
Subtract 1136 from 1240 to get 104.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1040, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 239988.2464788, with a leftover of 1.04e-06.
