What is 66 times greater than 64?

66 times greater than 64 seems easy enough, but is it?

Let's assume the answer = 4224 (since 66 x 64 = 4224). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4224 is greater than 66 x 64.

But that is not true. 4224 is not greater than 66 x 64. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=66 and b=64 to get this answer:

(66 + 1) x 64 = 4288

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 67 times 64?" 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 64, they mean 66 times as much as 64 which equals 4224. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
