[atabitaraf]

What is the most formal way to write (and say) this equation 4*2=8 ?
1. Four multiplied by two equals eight.
2. Two multiplied by four equals eight.
3. 4 multiplied by 2 equals 8.
4. 2 multiplied by 4 equals 8.
Thanks,

The first one. Do not start a sentence with a numeral. Write out in full the letters.

I write 4x2=8;

I say 'four twos are eight'.
