"times greater" vs. "times of"

[nadiagogo]

Hi, could anyone tell me if these two are asking different things?

A is three times greater than B.
A is three times of B.

My understanding is that the first one means A/B=4 and in the second one A/B=3

However, I saw different intepretations on different prep materials. some Kaplan questions made them equal.

What should I do in the actual GRE test?

Thanks!

They seem equal, based on that question (just different wording).

The second one is not a legitimate wording. I've never seen anything like that in a real question, or in materials. Is that sentence to be found word for word in Kaplan materials? I've literally never seen that anywhere in my life, and I've been doing this for years!
