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.
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.
What is the largest remainder possible if the divisor is 63?

Nothing. The remainder has to be less than the divisor.
Why must the remainder be less than the divisor?
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!
Is the divisor always less than the remainder?
