MATLAB: Formatting SYM variables to exponential

format

Hello,
I'm using the solve function and end up with several long strings of small numbers (ie. 0.0097077507141568690824272766224354). I'd like to display that number as 9.7077E-3. I've tried all the 'format' commands and they seem to have no effect on the sym varaiables.
Can someone please help me out?
Adam
