(Of course, you meant to say "$15$ produces".)

But, yes, this is a significant error that should have a high priority for
correction.
This kind of error does not normally show upon rendering in a browser.
It's important,
however, because a reasonable importing of <mn>1</mn><mn>5</mn> into a
computer algebra system would (and should) take it in as 1·5 = 5 rather
than as 15.
