What is 83 times greater than 64?

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

Let's assume the answer = 5312 (since 83 x 64 = 5312). Then shouldn't this statement be true?:

5312 is greater than 83 x 64.

But that is not true. 5312 is not greater than 83 x 64. It is the same!

To make it greater, we could make make a formula like (a+1)b where a=83 and b=64 to get this answer:

(83 + 1) x 64 = 5376

But if that is the case, why not simply say "What is 84 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 83 times greater than 64, they mean 83 times as much as 64 which equals 5312. We recommend that you ask them to clarify what they mean.
