Think of the division as a fraction problem, if you're dividing .25 by 2, what you're really calculating is half of .25, which in this case is .125.
The answer will always be smaller if the denominator (the number on the bottom of the fraction bar) is greater than one. Division works like this with whole numbers as well, if you were dividing 10 by 2 (10/2), your answer would be 2, which is also a smaller number.
**If the denominator is less than 1 ( such as 1/.25) the answer will be larger because essentially what you're trying to solve at this point is how many times .25 goes into 1. (4)
