Commas, of course
I hope you guys understand this question. Sometimes I see a sentence like this:
"A hundred times five thousand is of course more than enough."
And sometimes I see them like this (with two commas):
"A hundred times five thousand is, of course, more than enough."
So which should I rather use in a high school matriculation exam?
And btw, this forum should really be supported somehow as it is VERY useful!

The commas are unnecessary but nice and clear, in my estimation.

In your example, using or not using comma will hardly make any difference to the meaning of the sentence.
But in other sentences, commas have their own significance. Using them or using them not will make a great impact on the meaning of the sentence.
->My brother, who is married, will be here soon.
->My brother who is married will be here soon.
