Easy long numbers yes, complicated long numbers I'm gonna say no. I'm not even saying large numbers, I'm saying long numbers which can include decimal points. And the chance of mistakes goes way up. There's no point of doing it mentally or by hand when calculators are ubiquitous. I think this is why they switched to different ways of thinking about math, rather than hard core hand calculations that no one is going to do anyway.
