5975881 ÷ 142 
We want to figure out the number of times 5975881 can be divided by 142.

Advancing to step 1:
The number 142 fits into 5 0 times, leaving a remainder of 5.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 5 after subtracting 0 from 5.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 59 / 142

Advancing to step 2:
The number 142 fits into 59 0 times, leaving a remainder of 59.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 59, we get 59.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 59, then repeat: 597 / 142

Let's proceed to step 3:
When dividing 597 by 142, we get 4 with a remainder of 29.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 4.0
Subtract 568 from 597 to get 29.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 29 and repeat the process: 295 / 142

Step 4:
If we divide 295 by 142, we get 2 and a remainder of 11.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42.0
If we take 284 away from 295, we end up with 11.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 118 / 142

Moving on to step 5:
The number 142 fits into 118 0 times, leaving a remainder of 118.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 420.0
Subtract 0 from 118 to get 118.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 118 and repeat the process: 1188 / 142

Going ahead to step 6:
The number 142 fits into 1188 8 times, leaving a remainder of 52.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 4208.0
Subtract 1136 from 1188 to get 52.
Fetch the next digit (1) from the dividend, attach it to 52 and continue: 521 / 142

Step 7:
521 divided by 142 is 3 with a remainder of 95.
Record the quotient 3 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42083.0
If we subtract 426 from 521, we get 95.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 950, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
When dividing 950 by 142, we get 6 with a remainder of 98.
Put 6 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42083.6
If we take 852 away from 950, we end up with 98.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 980, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
If we divide 980 by 142, we get 6 and a remainder of 128.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42083.66
Deduct 852 from 980 and we're left with 128.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1280, and continue the process.

After the division, we end up with 42083.66 and a remainder of 0.128.
