48988 divided by 25 
Our goal is to divide 48988 by 25.

Advancing to step 1:
4 divided by 25 is 0 with a remainder of 4.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 4, we get 4.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 4, then carry on: 48 / 25

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 25 fits into 48 1 times, leaving a remainder of 23.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 23 after subtracting 25 from 48.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 239 / 25

On to step 3:
239 divided by 25 is 9 with a remainder of 14.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 19.0
Deduct 225 from 239 and we're left with 14.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 148 / 25

Advancing to step 4:
When dividing 148 by 25, we get 5 with a remainder of 23.
Write down 5 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 195.0
If we subtract 125 from 148, we get 23.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 23 and continue with: 238 / 25

Step 5:
25 can be fit into 238 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 13.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1959.0
Subtract 225 from 238 to get 13.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 130, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 6:
When dividing 130 by 25, we get 5 with a remainder of 5.
The next digit of our result is 5. 
Result so far: 1959.5
If we subtract 125 from 130, we get 5.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 50, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 50 by 25, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 1959.52
Subtracting 50 from 50 leaves us 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.

Moving on to step 8:
25 goes into 0 0 times with a remainder of 0.
Write down 0 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1959.52
The remainder is 0 after subtracting 0 from 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 9:
The number 25 fits into 0 0 times, leaving a remainder of 0.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 1959.52
Deduct 0 from 0 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.

Our division results in 1959.52 with a remaining 0.0.
