Have you tried Donald Arseneau's longdiv macro?
http://mechanics.civil.tohoku.ac.jp/~bear/bear-collections/style-files/
longdiv.sty
(e.g., you can enter: "\longdiv{8}{3}" to get the complete calculation
inserted.)
It produces results similar to the raw TeX below (from an old Tugboat):
\newdimen\digitwidth \settowidth\digitwidth{0}
\def~{\hspace{\digitwidth}}
\def\divrule#1#2{%
\noalign{\moveright#1\digitwidth%
\vbox{\hrule width#2\digitwidth}}}
13\,\begin{tabular}[b]{@{}r@{}} 949 \\ \hline
\big)
\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l@{}}
12345 \\
117 \\ \divrule{0}{4}
~~64 \\
~~52 \\ \divrule{2}{3}
~~125 \\
~~117 \\ \divrule{2}{3}
~~~~8
\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}
