\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}\phantom{1}\\15\overline{)21}\\\end{array}
Use the 1^{st} digit 2 from dividend 21
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{2}\\15\overline{)21}\\\end{array}
Since 2 is less than 15, use the next digit 1 from dividend 21 and add 0 to the quotient
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}0\phantom{3}\\15\overline{)21}\\\end{array}
Use the 2^{nd} digit 1 from dividend 21
\begin{array}{l}\phantom{15)}01\phantom{4}\\15\overline{)21}\\\phantom{15)}\underline{\phantom{}15\phantom{}}\\\phantom{15)9}6\\\end{array}
Find closest multiple of 15 to 21. We see that 1 \times 15 = 15 is the nearest. Now subtract 15 from 21 to get reminder 6. Add 1 to quotient.
\text{Quotient: }1 \text{Reminder: }6
Since 6 is less than 15, stop the division. The reminder is 6. The topmost line 01 is the quotient. Remove all zeros at the start of the quotient to get the actual quotient 1.
