What is 66 times greater than 37?

66 times greater than 37 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 2442 (since 66 x 37 = 2442). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

2442 is greater than 66 x 37.

But that is not true. 2442 is not greater than 66 x 37. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=66 and b=37 to get this answer:

(66 + 1) x 37 = 2479

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 67 times 37?" 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 66 times greater than 37, they mean 66 times as much as 37 which equals 2442. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
