What is 14 times greater than 67?

14 times greater than 67 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 938 (since 14 x 67 = 938). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

938 is greater than 14 x 67.

But that is not true. 938 is not greater than 14 x 67. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=14 and b=67 to get this answer:

(14 + 1) x 67 = 1005

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 15 times 67?" instead of saying "times greater than?"

We do not think there is a correct answer, because the question can be misinterpreted.

It seems that when many people write 14 times greater than 67, they mean 14 times as much as 67 which equals 938. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
