How to enable comma separation of integers in Ubuntu's default calculator?
By default the calculator doesn't separate every three digits so looking at the difference between large integers is difficult.
Example
10000000000
10000000
For old guys with poor vision like me it's hard to tell the difference between a few million and a few billion without the commas.

ubuntu 14.04 / calculator 3.10.3 && calculator 3.18.3 - ubuntu 16.04
The solution took me a few minutes too long to find given the simplicity and obviousness of it so here it is in case anybody else overlooks it like I did and will again next time I reinstall Ubuntu.
(calculator 3.10.3 - ubuntu 14.04) click Edit
(calculator 3.18.3 - ubuntu 16.04) click Calculator
click Preferences
check Show thousands separators
click Close
no reboot needed
