It SHOULD always be less than the divisor... Otherwise your answer is wrong.
How big can a remainder be and why?
A remainder can be any non-negative number that is less than the divisor. If the remainder is bigger than the divisor, the divisor can go into it another one (or more) times until the remainder is brought into that range.
Why is the remainder less than the divisor?
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.
