How to get cleaner code for the division sum?

Question

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{longdivision}
\usepackage{cancel}

\begin{document}

\section {Even Numbers}

Even numbers are numbers that can be divided by two without leaving a remainder\\

\intlongdivision{912}{3}\\


\begin{tabular}{ccccc}
&&3&0&4\\
\hline
3&)&9&\cancel{1}&$^1{2}$\\


\end{tabular}

\end{document}

(looks like you put in the effort to type the
s, but it would be better spent reading Markdown documentation which is/should be linked from the ask question page) — user202729, May 16 '22 at 14:35
Anyway, for a start there are a few schemes (e.g. smash with overline, TikZ etc.) in formatting - Better way to display long division? - TeX - LaTeX Stack Exchange to shorten the bar, and maybe @{} (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/377502/how-can-i-reduce-the-spacing-between-columns-in-a-table for explanation) to remove the space between. — user202729, May 16 '22 at 14:40

Not sure if the classical division style of xlop package could be a problem, but otherwise produce a decent output:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xlop}
\begin{document}
\section*{Even Numbers}
Even numbers are numbers that can be divided by two without leaving a remainder:
\opdiv[style=text]{912}{3} →  \fbox{\parbox{7em}{%
\opdiv[maxdivstep=3, displayintermediary=all]{912}{3}}}
\end{document}
