Explanation:

how many times is the money of the elder brother ?

this is the same to ask "how many times do I need to add the money of the younger brother to get the money off the older brother ?"

this is simply done by division : how many times do 56 fit into 280 ?

280 / 56 = 5

so, the elder brother has 5 times the money of the younger brother.
