How much bigger was the size of the Italian force than the Western Desert Force (a.k.a., "The Forgotten Victor")?

Answer Five to six times as big

Called "the Forgotten Victor," General Sir Richard Nugent O'Connor led a mission using a small force, called the Western Desert Force, to attack an Italian force that was five to six times the size, resulting in a serious upset to the Italians. The Italians were spread out in fortified camps. But as it would turn out, they were too spread out. They didn't hear the WDF picking the camps off, one by one. In two months, the 25,000-strong frontline British force had knocked out ten divisions and captured 130,000 prisoners.
