Greece owns over 3,000 islands. The area of the mainland of Greece is 105,600 km2, while the area of the islands is 79,200 km2 less. How many times is the area of the Greek state larger than its insular part?

According to the condition of the problem, it is known that the area of the continental part of Greece is 105,600 km².

Let’s calculate what is the area of the islands that belong to Greece, if it is known that their area is less than 79,200 km².

105,600 – 79,200 = 26,400 km².

Let’s determine how many times the area occupied by the islands is less, for this we need to divide the area of the continental part of Greece by the area occupied by the islands:

105600/26400 = 4.

Answer: The area of Greece is four times larger than the area of its islands.
