Did you see the error message?

You want

    \begin{equation}
    \begin{aligned}
    a \times b &= c \times d \\& = f
    \end{aligned}
    \end{equation}

or

    \begin{align}
    a \times b &= c \times d \\& = f
    \end{align}

depending on whether you want the expression to have one number or one
number per line.

You can access the amsmath help file by typing texdoc amsmath or
mthelp amsmath in your terminal with TL or MikTeX.

Hope it helps,
Rasmus
