I do, in fact, not always have a calculator on my person and sometimes need to do basic arithmetic by hand or in my head. The teachers who told us that were 100% correct.

Most people structure their lives in such a way to always have that calculator with them if they expect to need it, or failing that, arrange to postpone the division so they can do it when they have the calculator again.
