Yes. The remainder cannot be more that the divisor but there is no issue with it being greater than the quotient.
For example, if you divide 5 by 3,
5/3 = 1 and remainder 2 (out of 3)
So you get quotient = 1, remainder = 2.

Then divide the remainder again by the divisor until you get a remainder smaller than your divisor or an remainder equal to zero. The remainder in a division question should never be larger than the "divisor", but the remainder often is larger than the "answer" (quotient). For example, if 435 is divided by 63, the quotient is 22 and the remainder is 57.
Your quotient that you arrived at is too small. Increase the answer for the quotient, so that the remainder is from zero to (divisor minus one)
The remainder of the quotient of 421 and 6 is 1.
Quotient 0, remainder 805. Note that you will always get this pattern when you divide a smaller number by a larger one - i.e., the quotient will be zero, and the remainder will be the dividend.
