How do I remove the white margins around my div tags?

So I have been creating a very basic website with a header, nav, main container, and a footer. and I'm using the the viewport tag in my website.

My problem occurs when I set the width of the divs to 100%.

Here is my code:

#header {
  background-color: black;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 5px;
}
#nav {
  line-height: 60px;
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
  min-height: 60px;
  width: 100%;
  left: 0px;
  text-decoration: none;
}
#nav a {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-size: 25px;
  text-decoration: none;
  float: left;
  margin-left: 10px;
}
#section {
  min-width: 50%;
  min-height: 479px;
  float: left;
}
#section p {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  font-size: 20px;
}
#footer {
  background-color: black;
  color: white;
  clear: both;
  text-align: right;
  line-height: 40px;
  height: 40px;
}
#footer p {
  margin-right: 30px;
}

Is there something I need to change to get rid of the white edges around the div, I have tried things to get rid of it but none of them seem to work, any help would be greatly appreciated.

are you talking about the white edges around the website then use

html, body {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  overflow-x: hidden;
}

bodyhas a default margin across browsers so you need to reset that margin.

so add this

body {
  margin: 0
}
