What is 19 times greater than 91?

19 times greater than 91 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 1729 (since 19 x 91 = 1729). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

1729 is greater than 19 x 91.

But that is not true. 1729 is not greater than 19 x 91. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=19 and b=91 to get this answer:

(19 + 1) x 91 = 1820

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 20 times 91?" 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 19 times greater than 91, they mean 19 times as much as 91 which equals 1729. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
