We're dividing 983971 by 10 
We want to divide 983971 by 10.

Step 1:
10 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 9 after subtracting 0 from 9.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 98 / 10

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 10 is 9 with a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 9.0
Deduct 90 from 98 and we're left with 8.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 8, then repeat: 83 / 10

Step 3:
10 goes into 83 8 times with a remainder of 3.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98.0
Subtracting 80 from 83 leaves us with 3.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 3 and continue with: 39 / 10

On to step 4:
If we divide 39 by 10, we get 3 and a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 983.0
If we take 30 away from 39, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 10

Going ahead to step 5:
97 divided by 10 is 9 with a remainder of 7.
The number 9 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 9839.0
Deduct 90 from 97 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (1) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 71 / 10

Step 6:
71 divided by 10 is 7 with a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 7 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 98397.0
If we take 70 away from 71, we end up with 1.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Step 7:
10 goes into 10 1 times with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 98397.1
Deduct 10 from 10 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 10, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 98397.1
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 9:
10 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 98397.1
Subtracting 0 from 0 leaves us with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

The final result is 98397.1 with a remainder of 0.0.
