What is 37 times greater than 66?

37 times greater than 66 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 2442 (since 37 x 66 = 2442). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

2442 is greater than 37 x 66.

But that is not true. 2442 is not greater than 37 x 66. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=37 and b=66 to get this answer:

(37 + 1) x 66 = 2508

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 38 times 66?" 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 37 times greater than 66, they mean 37 times as much as 66 which equals 2442. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
