If the remainder were greater than the divisor, you'd be able to take another divisor out of it.
4 because 7 and 9 are greater then 6.
24 or 14 or any number greater than 10 than ends in 4
The remainder can be greater than the divisor when the dividend is significantly larger than the divisor. In division, the remainder is the amount that is left over after dividing the dividend by the divisor. If the dividend is much larger than the divisor, it is likely that the remainder will also be larger than the divisor.
No.
74 divided by 5 equals 14 with a remainder of 4
It must be less else you have not divided properly; you could divide again 1 or more times!If the remainder is equal to the divisor (or equal to a multiple of the divisor) then you could divide again exactly without remainder. If the remainder is greater but not a multiple of the divisor you could divide again resulting in another remainder.E.g. Consider 9/2. This is 4 remainder 1. Let's say our answer was 3 remainder 3; as our remainder "3" is greater than the divisor "2" we can divide again so we have not carried out our original division correctly!

Remainder can't be greater than or equal to 8.
If the remainder is greater than the divisor then you can divide it once more and get one more whole number and then have less remainders.
