    The remainder can never be equal to, or greater than the divisor. In the above example, a remainder of "8″ when dividing by 5 is illogical, because 8 is greater than 5, and includes another multiple of 5 closer to the dividend

    No it couldn't be greater because that means the divisor could go into the remainder at least one more time.
