Why do you need a calculator?  I used to think that it was required
until I discover that you can specify sizes in non-sector sizes, starts
of partitions after other existing partitions and sizes of partitions
that extend all the remaining space.  You need to use the interactive
mode for this, but it is pretty decent these days!
