Sometimes I make a calculation in Mathematica that produces a big number, which Mathematica shows like so:

-1.52522*10^7

This is annoying to me, because I want to see the number normally, without exponential notation, something like this:

-15,252,264.7448716

How can I make Mathematica show the number normally?

  • $\begingroup$ AccountingForm omits the digits after the decimal point, and also uses parentheses for negative numbers which is annoying. $\endgroup$

You may use for example:

pr[n_] := NumberForm[n, Infinity, ExponentFunction -> (Null &)]

so that:

pr[1.52522*10^7]

(* 15252200. *)
