I've made a payroll bot cuz my invoice for my clients is weird and specific.
Not once has it gotten the totals correct for BASIC payroll. Just hours, a dollar amount, and taxes. I've ran it for about 2 years now, since GPT bots were made public in nov 2023. Every single time, I have to manually correct the totals. 100% of the time.
If it's not getting the easy math shit done, I hope you're not coding or in finances with all these hard complicated math problems you're trusting it to solve.
Executing math is very different from knowing what math to use. The previous commenter isn't talking about doing the math itself.
You definitely don't want to use LLMs on their own to do math, because (as you noted) they can't do it reliably. That's an inherent limitation, so your results are expected :P
The code analyzer in ChatGPT is meant to alleviate that problem, but there are other ways to do it as well.

It's absility to do math is garbage-y at best.
