We divide 41988 by 25
The aim is to understand the frequency of 25 in 41988.

Going ahead to step 1:
The number 25 fits into 4 0 times, leaving a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Deduct 0 from 4 and we're left with 4.
Grab the next digit (1) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 41 / 25

Let's proceed to step 2:
If we divide 41 by 25, we get 1 and a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 25 away from 41, we end up with 16.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 16 and continue: 169 / 25

Going ahead to step 3:
25 goes into 169 6 times with a remainder of 19.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
The remainder is 19 after subtracting 150 from 169.
Fetch the next digit (8) from the dividend, attach it to 19 and continue: 198 / 25

Going ahead to step 4:
25 goes into 198 7 times with a remainder of 23.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 167.0
Deduct 175 from 198 and we're left with 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 25

Going ahead to step 5:
25 goes into 238 9 times with a remainder of 13.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1679.0
Subtracting 225 from 238 leaves us with 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 6:
130 divided by 25 is 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1679.5
Subtracting 125 from 130 leaves us with 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
50 divided by 25 is 2 with a remainder of 0.
Write down 2 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1679.52
Deduct 50 from 50 and we're left with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 8:
0 divided by 25 is 0 with a remainder of 0.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1679.52
Subtract 0 from 0 to get 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

On to step 9:
If we divide 0 by 25, we get 0 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1679.52
If we take 0 away from 0, we end up with 0.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 0, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 1679.52 with a balance of 0.0.
