983142 ÷ 15 
We want to figure out the number of times 983142 can be divided by 15.

Let's proceed to step 1:
15 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
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 / 15

Step 2:
98 divided by 15 is 6 with a remainder of 8.
The number 6 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 6.0
If we subtract 90 from 98, we get 8.
Fetch the next digit (3) from the dividend, attach it to 8 and continue: 83 / 15

Advancing to step 3:
The number 15 fits into 83 5 times, leaving a remainder of 8.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 65.0
Subtracting 75 from 83 leaves us with 8.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 8, then carry on: 81 / 15

Going ahead to step 4:
When dividing 81 by 15, we get 5 with a remainder of 6.
Use 5 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 655.0
If we subtract 75 from 81, we get 6.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 6, then repeat: 64 / 15

Let's proceed to step 5:
15 can be fit into 64 4 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Put 4 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 6554.0
If we subtract 60 from 64, we get 4.
Bring next digit (2) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 42 / 15

Advancing to step 6:
15 can be fit into 42 2 times, resulting in a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65542.0
Subtract 30 from 42 to get 12.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 120, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 7:
15 can be fit into 120 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65542.8
Subtract 120 from 120 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.

Step 8:
When dividing 0 by 15, we get 0 with a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 65542.8
If we subtract 0 from 0, we 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.

Moving on to step 9:
The number 15 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 65542.8
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 65542.8 with a balance of 0.0.
