What is 52 times greater than 76?

52 times greater than 76 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 3952 (since 52 x 76 = 3952). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

3952 is greater than 52 x 76.

But that is not true. 3952 is not greater than 52 x 76. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=52 and b=76 to get this answer:

(52 + 1) x 76 = 4028

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 53 times 76?" 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 76, they mean 52 times as much as 76 which equals 3952. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
