What is 53 times greater than 92?

53 times greater than 92 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 4876 (since 53 x 92 = 4876). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4876 is greater than 53 x 92.

But that is not true. 4876 is not greater than 53 x 92. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=53 and b=92 to get this answer:

(53 + 1) x 92 = 4968

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 54 times 92?" 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 53 times greater than 92, they mean 53 times as much as 92 which equals 4876. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
