MATLAB: Scientific notation to decimal

decimaldispfunctionscientific notation

I currently have a number that I want in decimal form not scientific form. I have
Savings made in dollars:
1.0418e+06
How do I get the 1.0418e+06 into decimal? Is there a function for this? In my script file I have
disp('Savings made in dollars: ' )
disp(savings)
So I was wondering if there was a function that i can enter in the disp(savings) bit to make my number a decimal?
I am very new to MATLAB so a basic explanation is much appreciated.

>> sav=1.0418e+06;
With cents displayed...
>> disp(num2str(sav,'%.2f'))
1041800.00
Whole dollars...
>> disp(num2str(sav,'%.0f'))
1041800
