There's a scene where Goku is counting to 10 trillion or something while doing push-ups and he's counting like "1 trillion, 2 trillion, 3 trillion". That doesn't mean he doesn't know how to do math, remember that he still passed the written test for the U6 tournament which had math on it. That just means that Goku doesn't know how counting with gigantic numbers works.
There's no version of Goku that would know advanced or even moderate mathematics. Goku's only math teaching was from Roshi and was only for 8 months, mixed in with rigorous martial arts training. The highest level math Goku knows is "divide by 4 (Tenshinhan's Multiform)" and "multiply by 2 (he knew 100% Freeza would be weaker than him)".

I don't get why SS 4's weird clothing physics are any weirder than Fusion Dance having a specific outfit.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.I honestly thought he was just literally doing the crunches that fast. That he was only saying aloud the increments of a trillion, but still doing all the crunches in between.
Or, I dunno. Most of the crunches in between. 999 billion and so on. Point being, he can do the crunches faster than he can say them aloud. So he doesn't actually verbally sound off for every single crunch, just the major milestones.
...Also, counting to a trillion is pretty fucking hard.
A trillion is a ridiculous number.
Goku doesn't have 31,709.79 x 10 years to fight Monaka.
I mean. Probably. He might be able to wish for immortality or eternal youth or something.
So, sure, you can say counting trillions properly is "basic" all you like Saiga, but I know for a fact you'll never be able to do it.
You would literally die first.
This has been a reminder of your own mortality and insignificance, as brought to you by the subject Maths! And the number a trillion.
Maths: Because you are just a meaningless spec on a meaningless spec, adrift in the void. And, for some reason, you need to know that! And that's what Maths is for.

Either that or he gets absolutely everything right but a lot of people call him out for being wrong about this, that, and the other because only, like, five people in the entire Dragon Ball fandom actually understand it.
The amount of misinformation is painful.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

I mean, Piccolo's clothes beam is a technique he knows to explain that though.
And it always seemed more magical or mystical than anything, and the explanation for Super Saiyan 4 has more to do with Golden Oozaru and raw power.
Super Saiyan God and Blue and so on having clothes powers would make more sense.
