If ‘E’ is a symbolic expression (we have no idea exactly what it is), then matlabFunction could be appropriate to turn it into an anonymous function that could be executed numerically. If it is a symbolic scalar or vector, then vpa or double would be appropriate, depending on the desired result.
If none of these are appropriate, I will delete this Answer.

Maybe you mean the output to the command window?
format short
pi * 1e8
ans = 3.1416e+08
format long
pi * 1e8
ans =
3.141592653589793e+08
format long g
pi * 1e8
ans =
314159265.358979
You have more control using fprintf or sprintf to create the output.
