I didn't have time but could not resist trying:
\newdimen\digitwidth \settowidth\digitwidth{0}
\def~{\hspace{\digitwidth}}
\def\divrule#1#2{%
\noalign{\moveright#1\digitwidth%
\vbox{\hrule width#2\digitwidth}}}
3\,\begin{tabular}[b]{@{}r@{}} 2 \\ \hline
\big)
\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}l@{}}
8 \\
6 \\ \divrule{0}{4}
2 \\
% ~~52 \\ \divrule{2}{3}
% ~~125 \\
% ~~117 \\ \divrule{2}{3}
% ~~~~8
\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}
I have no idea of the syntax involved but it almost worked. I mean it
worked perfectly except that some of the lines are a bit too long. I am
sure, though, that upon my return Monday night, I will be able to take
care of that.
So, a BIG, BIG thank.
Regards

P. S. I have no idea how to use Arseeau' macro but I will study the
thing upon my return. Just for the hell of it as, in any case, the code
you gave is all I need. So I am entirely happy.
