Say, I have two numbers: 3 and 12. 12 is 9 larger than 3 — difference. Also, 12 is 4 times larger than 3 — factor. If I ask "how Y is larger than X" - is it difference or factor?



How do I ask whether one number is larger/smaller meaning either difference or factor?






mathematics







share|improve this question






















  • How Y is larger than X doesn't make sense. If you ask how much larger than X is Y, you will get the difference. If you want the factor you can say how many times larger than X is Y
