What is 54 times greater than 63?

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

Let's assume the answer = 3402 (since 54 x 63 = 3402). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

3402 is greater than 54 x 63.

But that is not true. 3402 is not greater than 54 x 63. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=54 and b=63 to get this answer:

(54 + 1) x 63 = 3465

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 55 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 54 times greater than 63, they mean 54 times as much as 63 which equals 3402. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
