We're dividing 5536555 by 142 
Our goal is to divide 5536555 by 142.

Advancing to step 1:
142 can be fit into 5 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 5 leaves us with 5.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 5, then repeat: 55 / 142

Let's proceed to step 2:
142 can be fit into 55 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 55.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 55 leaves us with 55.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 55 and repeat the process: 553 / 142

On to step 3:
If we divide 553 by 142, we get 3 and a remainder of 127.
Write down 3 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3.0
Subtracting 426 from 553 leaves us with 127.
Append the next digit (6) from the dividend to 127 and continue with: 1276 / 142

On to step 4:
142 can be fit into 1276 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 140.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38.0
The remainder is 140 after subtracting 1136 from 1276.
Take the next digit (5) from the dividend and append it to 140, then repeat: 1405 / 142

On to step 5:
142 goes into 1405 9 times with a remainder of 127.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 389.0
If we take 1278 away from 1405, we end up with 127.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 127 and continue: 1275 / 142

Advancing to step 6:
The number 142 fits into 1275 8 times, leaving a remainder of 139.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 3898.0
Subtract 1136 from 1275 to get 139.
Fetch the next digit (5) from the dividend, attach it to 139 and continue: 1395 / 142

Going ahead to step 7:
When dividing 1395 by 142, we get 9 with a remainder of 117.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38989.0
The remainder is 117 after subtracting 1278 from 1395.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1170, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
If we divide 1170 by 142, we get 8 and a remainder of 34.
The next digit of our result is 8. 
Result so far: 38989.8
The remainder is 34 after subtracting 1136 from 1170.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 340, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
When dividing 340 by 142, we get 2 with a remainder of 56.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38989.82
Deduct 284 from 340 and we're left with 56.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 560, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
142 goes into 560 3 times with a remainder of 134.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38989.823
Deduct 426 from 560 and we're left with 134.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1340, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 11:
The number 142 fits into 1340 9 times, leaving a remainder of 62.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38989.8239
Deduct 1278 from 1340 and we're left with 62.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 620, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 12:
620 divided by 142 is 4 with a remainder of 52.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 38989.82394
Deduct 568 from 620 and we're left with 52.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 520, and continue the process.

Step 13:
142 goes into 520 3 times with a remainder of 94.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 38989.823943
Deduct 426 from 520 and we're left with 94.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 940, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
When dividing 940 by 142, we get 6 with a remainder of 88.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 38989.8239436
Subtracting 852 from 940 leaves us with 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 15:
When dividing 880 by 142, we get 6 with a remainder of 28.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 38989.82394366
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 852 from 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

The final result is 38989.82394366 with a remainder of 2.8e-08.
