We're sorry, but your 30 day trial has ended. Please pay for Calculator Pro, or watch this 30 second advertisement to continue your calculation.

Just use the default one that came with your phone.

LOL, no kidding, ya don't say huh?

Some folks use 3rd party scientific and/or programming calculator apps, which do tend to come with advertising banners.

I wouldn't trust AI to do multiplication correctly.

No, but it's a cool novelty!
