I want to display a long division procedure as illustrated. 
I did search but couldn't find what I'm looking for. Any help is much appreciated.

With the package longdivision, you obtain almost the desired output (but as a French, I don't known this strange notation, see the documentation of the package xlop about division for the French notation).
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{longdivision}
\begin{document}
\intlongdivision{12345}{13}
\end{document}

1(+1) Please edit it a bit so that the output fits the OP's picture fully (i.e. it should be 11700 instead of 117 in the third line).– user156344Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 6:09

@JouleV It’s why I say "you obtain almost the desired output" and "I don’t known this strange notation" (In France, we use other notation). I don’t known is my answer is perfect. If not, is this a bug of the
longdivisionpackage?– quark67Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 11:54 -
@quark67, thank you. I wonder why this is not working if I want to do the long division of -37/44. My aim is to display that and write the continued fraction expansion.– EurekaCommented Feb 25, 2019 at 14:30

@Fib1123 The package
longdivisiondoesn't handle negative numbers. You can use the commandlongdivision{37}{44}insteadintlongdivision{37}{44}, this give a continued fraction expansion, but I don't known if the displayed output is what you want (decimal numbers in the continued fraction expansion, in French notation, there are not decimal numbers in the continued fraction expansion).– quark67Commented Feb 25, 2019 at 15:05
