Answer:

No

Explanation:

If a number is divided by 24, the quotient cannot have a remainder of 25. The remainder cannot be bigger than the number, as that means one more of the number can fit in there. For example, 41 divided by 8 is 5.125, or 5 with a remainder of 1. The remainder can't be greater.
