It looks like you're describing the long division process of dividing the number 2,105 by 5. Let's break this down step by step.

  1. Divide the Hundreds:

    • Start with 2,105. We have 2 in the thousands place, 1 in the hundreds place, 0 in the tens place, and 5 in the ones place.
    • We need to split it into 5 groups.
    • First, look at the hundreds. We have 21 hundreds (2,100).
    • 21 hundreds can be split into 5 groups where \(21 \div 5 = 4\) (which represents 4 complete groups since 5 x 5 = 20).
    • So, 4 groups have been formed, which accounts for \(4 \times 5 = 20\) hundreds.
    • This leaves us with \(21 - 20 = 1\) hundred remaining.
  2. Regrouping the Hundreds:

    • Now we regroup this remaining 1 hundred into tens. Since 1 hundred equals 10 tens, we now have 10 additional tens to work with.
    • This means we currently have \(10\) tens plus the \(0\) tens we originally had, totalling \(10\) tens.
  3. Divide the Tens:

    • Now, we divide these \(10\) tens into the \(5\) groups.
    • So, \(10 \div 5 = 2\), meaning we can put 2 tens into each group.
    • We then use \(2 \times 5 = 10\) tens, and if we subtract this from 10, we are left with \(10 - 10 = 0\) tens remaining.
  4. Ones:

    • Now, we look at the ones. We started with 5 ones.
    • Since we have 0 tens remaining, we have \(5\) ones to work with.
    • Dividing these \(5\) ones by \(5\) groups gives us \(5 \div 5 = 1\), so there is 1 one in each group.
    • We note this in the ones place of the quotient. The \(5 - 5 = 0\) means we have \(0\) ones remaining.
  5. Final Distribution:

    • So, after going through all this, we arrive at a complete quotient for dividing \(2,105\) by \(5\):
      • The hundreds place in the quotient is 4.
      • The tens place in the quotient is 2.
      • The ones place in the quotient is 1.
    • This means the final answer to \(2,105 \div 5\) is 421 with \(0\) remaining.

In conclusion, \(2,105\) divided by \(5\) yields a quotient of \(421\) with no remainder.
