I get your point, I often search for equations, but really 12/294*100 is not so difficult to remember.

You've got two numbers and a division, putting the in the wrong order will give you a clearly wrong result.

The problem with LLMs is that they are not reliable at numerical calculations even if they got the correct equation. But that is now easily fixed by giving them access to computation software.
