The largest [integer] remainder is 10. If the remainder was any more you would get one (or more) lots of 11.
The remainder is the number that is left over after the initial value has been divided as much as it can. If any numbers greater than 48 were present as a remainder, then these could be divided further into 48. If 48 is present as the remainder, then this can be divided by 48 to give 1, leaving no remainder. Thus, the largest possible remainder if the divisor is 48 is 47.
When you divide any integer by 11, the largest possible remainder you can get is 10. This is because when you divide a number by 11, the remainders can range from 0 to 10. In this case, if the number being divided is one less than a multiple of 11, the remainder will be the largest possible, which is 10.
