What is 52 times greater than 66?

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

Let's assume the answer = 3432 (since 52 x 66 = 3432). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

3432 is greater than 52 x 66.

But that is not true. 3432 is not greater than 52 x 66. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=52 and b=66 to get this answer:

(52 + 1) x 66 = 3498

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 53 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 52 times greater than 66, they mean 52 times as much as 66 which equals 3432. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
