MATLAB: Calculation with using matrix is different from manual calculation

calculation

Re=10^5:10^5:10^6;
C_D = 24./Re + (2.6.*(Re./5))/(1+(Re./5.0).^(1.52))+(0.411*(Re./263000).^(-7.94))./(1+(Re./263000).^(-8))+(0.25*Re./(10^6))/(1+Re./(10^6))
the result above the code is
C_D =
    0.4871    0.4629    0.2064    0.1135    0.1017    0.0998    0.0994    0.0993    0.0992    0.0992
In this code, when Re is 10^6, C_D is 0.0992.
But, I calculate Re=10^6 in manual
the result of C_D value is 0.1296
    >> Re=10^6
Re =
     1000000
>> C_D = 24./Re + (2.6.*(Re./5))/(1+(Re./5.0).^(1.52))+(0.411*(Re./263000).^(-7.94))./(1+(Re./263000).^(-8))+(0.25*Re./(10^6))/(1+Re./(10^6))
C_D =
    0.1296
Why this problem happen?
And can I solve this problem?

YOu have missed . in some places, check the below corrected line:
Re=10^5:10^5:10^6;
C_D = 24./Re + (2.6*(Re/5))./(1+(Re/5.0).^(1.52))+(0.411*(Re/263000).^(-7.94))./(1+(Re/263000).^(-8))+(0.25*Re/(10^6))./(1+Re/(10^6)) ;
