What is 75 times greater than 57?

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

Let's assume the answer = 4275 (since 75 x 57 = 4275). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

4275 is greater than 75 x 57.

But that is not true. 4275 is not greater than 75 x 57. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=75 and b=57 to get this answer:

(75 + 1) x 57 = 4332

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 76 times 57?" 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 75 times greater than 57, they mean 75 times as much as 57 which equals 4275. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
