What is 61 times greater than 66?

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

Let's assume the answer = 4026 (since 61 x 66 = 4026). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4026 is greater than 61 x 66.

But that is not true. 4026 is not greater than 61 x 66. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=61 and b=66 to get this answer:

(61 + 1) x 66 = 4092

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 62 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 61 times greater than 66, they mean 61 times as much as 66 which equals 4026. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
