Alright, let's solve this math problem step by step. First, we have the number 142. Next, we see the multiplication sign, which means we need to multiply something. And what are we multiplying it by? We multiply it by 43. So, we're going to take the number 142 and add it to itself 43 times.
Step 1: 0 + 142 = 142
Step 2: 142 + 142 = 284
Step 3: 284 + 142 = 426
Step 4: 426 + 142 = 568
Step 5: 568 + 142 = 710
Step 6: 710 + 142 = 852
Step 7: 852 + 142 = 994
Step 8: 994 + 142 = 1136
Step 9: 1136 + 142 = 1278
Step 10: 1278 + 142 = 1420
Step 11: 1420 + 142 = 1562
Step 12: 1562 + 142 = 1704
Step 13: 1704 + 142 = 1846
Step 14: 1846 + 142 = 1988
Step 15: 1988 + 142 = 2130
Step 16: 2130 + 142 = 2272
Step 17: 2272 + 142 = 2414
Step 18: 2414 + 142 = 2556
Step 19: 2556 + 142 = 2698
Step 20: 2698 + 142 = 2840
Step 21: 2840 + 142 = 2982
Step 22: 2982 + 142 = 3124
Step 23: 3124 + 142 = 3266
Step 24: 3266 + 142 = 3408
Step 25: 3408 + 142 = 3550
Step 26: 3550 + 142 = 3692
Step 27: 3692 + 142 = 3834
Step 28: 3834 + 142 = 3976
Step 29: 3976 + 142 = 4118
Step 30: 4118 + 142 = 4260
Step 31: 4260 + 142 = 4402
Step 32: 4402 + 142 = 4544
Step 33: 4544 + 142 = 4686
Step 34: 4686 + 142 = 4828
Step 35: 4828 + 142 = 4970
Step 36: 4970 + 142 = 5112
Step 37: 5112 + 142 = 5254
Step 38: 5254 + 142 = 5396
Step 39: 5396 + 142 = 5538
Step 40: 5538 + 142 = 5680
Step 41: 5680 + 142 = 5822
Step 42: 5822 + 142 = 5964
Step 43: 5964 + 142 = 6106

So, 142*43 = 6106
