We look at the division of 997983 by 18 
We want to divide 997983 by 18.

On to step 1:
18 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Take the next digit (9) from the dividend and append it to 9, then repeat: 99 / 18

Let's proceed to step 2:
18 can be fit into 99 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 5.0
Subtract 90 from 99 to get 9.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 9, then repeat: 97 / 18

Going ahead to step 3:
97 divided by 18 is 5 with a remainder of 7.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55.0
The remainder is 7 after subtracting 90 from 97.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 79 / 18

Advancing to step 4:
79 divided by 18 is 4 with a remainder of 7.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 554.0
Deduct 72 from 79 and we're left with 7.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 7 and repeat the process: 78 / 18

Going ahead to step 5:
78 divided by 18 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 5544.0
If we subtract 72 from 78, we get 6.
Include the next digit (3) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 63 / 18

Advancing to step 6:
When dividing 63 by 18, we get 3 with a remainder of 9.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 55443.0
If we take 54 away from 63, we end up with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
18 can be fit into 90 5 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 55443.5
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 90 from 90.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 8:
When dividing 0 by 18, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 55443.5
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.

Moving on to step 9:
0 divided by 18 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 55443.5
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up 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 outcome is 55443.5, with a leftover of 0.0.
