how to get scientific notation out of answer

function [m,a]= IRA(MS,AI)

%IRA

%MS = Monthly Savings

%AI = Annual Interest

%m = Months until savings is greater than 1,000,000

%a = Actual Dollar Amount of savings for those months

%Brendan Proaps

%Due 9/29/20

%Asumming the Initial Deposit is 0

if nargin == 0

MS = 250;

AI = 6;

end

format shortG

TF = isscalar(MS);

if TF == 0

error('MATLAB:notScalar', 'Inputs must be scalars.')

end

ID = MS;

m = 0;

a = 0;

while a < 1000000

ID = MS + ID.*(1 + (AI./1200));

a = ID-MS;

m = m+1;

end

if m > 600

m = 600;

end

m = m;

a = a;

end

Using this function, I get

>> [m,a]=IRA(200,11)

m =

421

a =

1.004e+06

How do I get the a to not be in scientific notation? None of the format options(ex. shortG) are working.
