\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}\phantom{1}\\21\overline{)105}\\\end{array}
Use the 1^{st} digit 1 from dividend 105
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}0\phantom{2}\\21\overline{)105}\\\end{array}
Since 1 is less than 21, use the next digit 0 from dividend 105 and add 0 to the quotient
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}0\phantom{3}\\21\overline{)105}\\\end{array}
Use the 2^{nd} digit 0 from dividend 105
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}00\phantom{4}\\21\overline{)105}\\\end{array}
Since 10 is less than 21, use the next digit 5 from dividend 105 and add 0 to the quotient
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}00\phantom{5}\\21\overline{)105}\\\end{array}
Use the 3^{rd} digit 5 from dividend 105
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{21)}005\phantom{6}\\21\overline{)105}\\\phantom{21)}\underline{\phantom{}105\phantom{}}\\\phantom{21)999}0\\\end{array}
Find closest multiple of 21 to 105. We see that 5 \times 21 = 105 is the nearest. Now subtract 105 from 105 to get reminder 0. Add 5 to quotient.
\text{Quotient: }5 \text{Reminder: }0
Since 0 is less than 21, stop the division. The reminder is 0. The topmost line 005 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 5.
