What is 63 times greater than 45?

63 times greater than 45 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 2835 (since 63 x 45 = 2835). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

2835 is greater than 63 x 45.

But that is not true. 2835 is not greater than 63 x 45. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=63 and b=45 to get this answer:

(63 + 1) x 45 = 2880

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 64 times 45?" 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 63 times greater than 45, they mean 63 times as much as 45 which equals 2835. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
