Well letLet me explain you in steps on removing seasonality:
1.Detect the trend:First find if the time series is additive or multiplicative
2.Detrend the time series: this will expose seasonality.
3.Average Seasonality:From the detrend time series, it’s easy to compute the average seasonality. We add the seasonality together and divide by the number of seasonality.

well ifIf you are using R , there are two functions decompose, ()decompose
and stl() stl
,which helps which help you do the above said.Often Often, the decomposition is used to removes the seasonal effect from a time series. It provided a cleaner way to understand the trend.
note1:you can use auto correlation function to identify the seasonality(weekly , monthly , quarterly , half yearly or yearly)
Note 1: you can use the autocorrelation function to identify the seasonality (weekly, monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly)note2:SARMA handles seasonality , read on it too.
Note 2: SARMA handles seasonality, read on it too.
