How to get my original Calculator Back. (still on phone under search)

Somehow I have managed to delete the factory calculator. It shows up under a search of the iphone4 but I can't get it on the main page. How do I bring it up and use it like I did originally without doing a factory restart which will mess up all my other apps.

I just want to add the original calculator back to the home screen.

mac, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Before you reset the home screen, look in a folder labeled utilities.

When this thread was started 5 years ago, that was the way to handle it. If you have a newer iPhone, and it is using iOS 10, then you could have deleted the calculator, and to recover it, you need to follow the steps in this support document. Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS device with iOS 10 - Apple Support

This is a 5 and a half year old thread. The question was about recovering the native calculator on an iPhone. What is your question?

But it took less than a second to download from the App Store. Almost as though it was on my phone all a long and that removing it from the control centre is simply unhelpful. I can tell wait to not use any iDevice ever aGain.
