I would like to have my answer expressed not in scientific notation... how would I do this?  For example, instead of reporting 2.12345e5, I just want 212345
 
Thanks!

You should be more precise, in you case, Sage does what you want:
	
    sage: 2.12345e5
    212345.000000000

Though perhaps some function does report it this way?  Sometimes graphics have this, for instance.
