29974 ÷ 96 
Our goal is to divide 29974 by 96.

Advancing to step 1:
2 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 2.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 2 to get 2.
Bring next digit (9) of the dividend behind the 2 and repeat the process: 29 / 96

Step 2:
29 divided by 96 is 0 with a remainder of 29.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
The remainder is 29 after subtracting 0 from 29.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 29, then carry on: 299 / 96

Let's proceed to step 3:
299 divided by 96 is 3 with a remainder of 11.
The number 3 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 3.0
If we take 288 away from 299, we end up with 11.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 11, then repeat: 117 / 96

On to step 4:
When dividing 117 by 96, we get 1 with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 31.0
Subtract 96 from 117 to get 21.
Take the next digit (4) from the dividend and append it to 21, then repeat: 214 / 96

On to step 5:
214 divided by 96 is 2 with a remainder of 22.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 312.0
If we subtract 192 from 214, we get 22.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 220, and continue the process.

On to step 6:
220 divided by 96 is 2 with a remainder of 28.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 312.2
The remainder is 28 after subtracting 192 from 220.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 280, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
The number 96 fits into 280 2 times, leaving a remainder of 88.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 312.22
Subtract 192 from 280 to get 88.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 880, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 312.22 with a balance of 0.088.
