I feel like this question doesn’t make much sense. What does it even mean for math to be “factual”?

I would argue it isn’t. I mean if you take 3×4+1 you can have 2 different answers based on what order you do your operations. 13, or 15. Now people have decided that 13 is is the “correct” answer, but that decision was made arbitrarily, not off of some universal fact…
