It SHOULD always be less than the divisor...
Otherwise your answer is wrong.
Because if the remainder is greater, then you could "fit" another divisor value into it. if they are equal, then you can divide it easily. Thus, the remainder is always lower than the divisor.
How to solve long division problem:When dividing two numbers, the dividend and divisor; the answer is the quotient.Make note of where decimal points is in the dividend and divisor.Simplify the long division problem by moving the decimals of the divisor and dividend by the same number of decimal places.Keep the numbers lined up straight from top to bottom.After each step, be sure the remainder for that step is less than the divisor. If it is not, there is a problem - check your math.In the end, any left over is called the remainder
Greater than 90 degrees but less than 180 degrees
No. Their product is always greater than 0.
Not not always since an obtuse angle is always greater than 90 degrees and an acute angle is always less than 90 degrees.

The remainder is less than the divisor because if the remainder was greater than the divisor, you have the wrong quotient. In other words, you should increase your quotient until your remainder is less than your divisor!
less than
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.
because the divisor wont work when you multiply it??
No it shouldn't because the divisor should always be bigger.
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!
24. It is always one less than the divisor.
so you cant get another group
If you divide correctly, the remainder will always be less than the divisor.
24. The largest remainder is always one less than the number by which you are dividing (the divisor).
