You could take away groups of 5 from the original 25 until nothing was left. Then you could count how many groups of 5 you now have. This will then tell you what 25 divided by 5 is.

So we start with 25.

We create one group of 5 leaving 20 behind.

The second group of 5 leaves 15 behind now.

Then 10 are left.

Then only 5.

Then the fifth and last group leaves behind 0.

So we have five groups of 5 things. As there are none left in the original 25 we can see that 5 lots of 5 is equal to 25. Therefore 25 / 5 = 5.
