What is 34 times greater than 54?

34 times greater than 54 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 1836 (since 34 x 54 = 1836). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

1836 is greater than 34 x 54.

But that is not true. 1836 is not greater than 34 x 54. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=34 and b=54 to get this answer:

(34 + 1) x 54 = 1890

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 35 times 54?" 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 34 times greater than 54, they mean 34 times as much as 54 which equals 1836. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
