What is 51 times greater than 63?

51 times greater than 63 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 3213 (since 51 x 63 = 3213). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

3213 is greater than 51 x 63.

But that is not true. 3213 is not greater than 51 x 63. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=51 and b=63 to get this answer:

(51 + 1) x 63 = 3276

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 52 times 63?" 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 51 times greater than 63, they mean 51 times as much as 63 which equals 3213. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
