They’re going “ewww” because they’re watching tentacle porn.
The tentacled alien is pushing the baby back inside the
mother or something. (I don’t see the accidental math pun.)
If that’s why they’re saying eww, then why did they only say “eww” many minutes after they started watching the tentacle porn, in response to the Lord Programmer pointing out that the humans in the porn are mouthing the multiplication tables?
They’re saying “ewww” at the baby being pushed back into the vagina (presumably
repeatedly, and probably accompanied by other weirdness), not the
multiplication tables.
These paragraphs:
“Um...” said the Xenopsychologist. “Okay, I’ve got to admit, I can’t even
begin to imagine why—”
Then there was a uniform “Ewww...” from around the room.
“Oh, dear,” said the Xenopsychologist. “Oh, dear, I don’t think they
understood that part at all.”
are not about the multiplication tables. They are about something gross that
you the reader can only guess at, but a clue is given later during the
conversation with Big Fucking Edward:
We do apologize, I say; but who would ever have thought that a species would
evolve to find reproduction a painful experience? For us, childbirth is
the greatest pleasure we know; to be prolonged, not hurried.”
“Oh,” said the Lady Sensory in a tone of sudden enlightenment, “that’s why
the tentacles were pushing the baby back into—”
They were clearly reacting to something about the implications of the depicted humans reciting multiplication tables. The Xenopsychologist says “I can’t even begin to imagine why—” and then cuts off when the whole room suddenly realizes why they’re reciting multiplication tables, which is apparently supposed to be both obvious and eww-worthy, but I’m drawing a blank.
What was the part “they” didn’t understand, which resulted in porn in which humans recite multiplication tables while, well, multiplying, that also grossed out an entire room?
As Vaniver said, “Because they enjoyed it until the tentacles started pushing the baby back in.” They did not react to the math mouthing. You are confused by the coincidental timing of the Xenopsychologist’s statement and the unbirthing clip.

Frog dissected!
Because they enjoyed it until the tentacles started pushing the baby back in. (I think there’s a technical term for that but I don’t want to know it.)
(I believe the term is “Unbirthing”.)
And I’m sorry but I’m not seeing it.
