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.
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.
No, the remainder in a division problem cannot equal the divisor. The remainder is defined as the amount left over after division when the dividend is not evenly divisible by the divisor. By definition, the remainder must be less than the divisor; if it were equal to the divisor, it would indicate that the dividend is divisible by the divisor, resulting in a remainder of zero.
62. One less than the divisor.
It SHOULD always be less than the divisor... Otherwise your answer is wrong.

Nothing. The remainder has to be less than the divisor.
because the divisor wont work when you multiply it??
No it shouldn't because the divisor should always be bigger.

less than
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!

24. It is always one less than the divisor.
