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.

We live in a dystopia. ☹️

There are like 20 different calculator apps on F-Droid, ranging from basic to scientific. There's plenty of instances where the dystopia screws you, calculators ain't one of them.

I literally always have AI and access to all human knowledge in my pocket!

I wouldn't trust AI to do multiplication correctly.

No, but it's a cool novelty!
