What you wrote after "as in" is not 4v times 10 .
v · v · v · v · 10 = v⁴ · 10 = 10v⁴
If "4v times 10" is really what you need,
then you have to think of it like this:
-- 4 cows times 10 = 40 cows
-- 4 sticks times 10 = 40 sticks
-- 4 puppies times 10 = 40 puppies
-- 4 'v's times 10 = 40 'v's . ( 40v )
