What is 51 times greater than 64?

51 times greater than 64 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 3264 (since 51 x 64 = 3264). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

3264 is greater than 51 x 64.

But that is not true. 3264 is not greater than 51 x 64. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=51 and b=64 to get this answer:

(51 + 1) x 64 = 3328

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 52 times 64?" 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 64, they mean 51 times as much as 64 which equals 3264. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
