What is 57 times greater than 80?

57 times greater than 80 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 4560 (since 57 x 80 = 4560). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4560 is greater than 57 x 80.

But that is not true. 4560 is not greater than 57 x 80. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=57 and b=80 to get this answer:

(57 + 1) x 80 = 4640

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 58 times 80?" 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 57 times greater than 80, they mean 57 times as much as 80 which equals 4560. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
