$15$ goes into $47$ three times

$3 \times 1 = 3$

$4 - 3 = 1$

$3 \times 5 = 15$

$17 - 15 = 2$

Write $15$ again

$15$ goes into 23 once

$1 \times 1 = 1$

$2 - 1 =1$

$1 \times 5 = 5$

$13 - 5 =8$

... and so on until:

$47324 \div 15 = 3154$ rem $14$

	$15$ goes into $47$ three times
	$3 \times 1 = 3$ $4 - 3 = 1$ $3 \times 5 = 15$ $17 - 15 = 2$
	Write $15$ again $15$ goes into 23 once
	$1 \times 1 = 1$ $2 - 1 =1$ $1 \times 5 = 5$ $13 - 5 =8$
