<s>[INST] Is $4 \times 6$ defined as $4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4$ or $6 + 6 + 6 + 6$? There are long debates among Indonesian netizens about this http://www.globalindonesianvoices.com/15785/is-4x6-the-same-as-6x4-this-primary-school-math-made-controversy-in-social-media/
 [/INST] Are you aware, the multiplication operation is commutative over $\mathbb{N}$. 
As such, $6 \times 4 = 4 \times 6$.
And we have also $4+4+4+4+4+4=24=6+6+6+6= 4 \times 6 = 6 \times 4$
EDIT: I forgot the following:
$6+6+6+6=(4+2)+(4+2)+(4+2)+(4+2)=(4+4+4+4)+(2+2+2+2)=(4+4+4+4)+(4+4)=4+4+4+4+4+4$
Thanks to other properties of the additive operation, such as commutativity and associativity...
EDIT2: Changed to $\mathbb{N}$ from $\mathbb{R}$ per suggestion.
