The process to determine the remainder (or modulus) in Bash programming language is to use the modulo operator (%).

The modulo operator returns the remainder of the division of two numbers.

Here is an example:

#!/bin/bash

a=10
b=3

remainder=$((a % b))

echo $remainder    # Output: 1

In the example above, we declare two variables a and b, both with numeric values. We then use the modulo operator (%) to calculate the remainder when a is divided by b.

Finally, we save the result in a variable called remainder and output it to the console using the echo command.
