neutral  The Misha: No, Zamira, it's not good. Tenfold would be beter, but then it doesn't cover multiples of ten. No offence.

agree  The Misha: ... in the absense of broader context. Could be totally out of whack stylistically though.

  -> Thanks, I think style here is the main problem posed by the question, this option is stylistically neutral..'dozens of' is much more informal IMO.
neutral  Yakov Tomara: An example: 1060 exceeds 1000 by 60 (a multiple of 10). It suits your definition but not the source phrase. Or I'm wrong?

neutral  PoveyTrans (X): Don't normally comment on other peoples' answers if I answer but I am not sure that this is appropriate here as in UK English it is normally colloquial // agree but my understanding is that this is scientific writing but sd one correct the style?!

  -> Thank you, Simon. I don't see a big problem here, as the RU original, strictly speaking, also doesn't sound too scientific at all :-)

agree  Ed Friesen: All the expressions using "tens"/"multiples" are highly uncolloquial. Other option, if there are MANY tens, would be "by an order/several orders of magnitude". I'd say the first would cover a range of roughly 3 to 30, the second anything more than that.
