<blockquote>
  <p>I have a <code>data.frame</code> with numeric columns. How can I write it to a file, using <code>write.table</code>,  such that R writes the full number 40000000 instead of 4e+07?</p>

<h3>Issues</h3>

<p>No statistical issues, so Off Topic on CV. It does involve programming issues, so it is on topic for SO. It does not include a reproducible example but the description of the problem is clear enough that an answer can be given.</p>

<h3>Outcome</h3>

<p>Migrate to SO. Once migrated to SO, it will be closed as an exact duplicate. On CV, those deciding to migrate to SO need not know that there is duplicate question; even if they were aware, it is not possible to close a question as a duplicate question on a different site. On SO, an appropriate duplicate (if any) can be found and it can be closed appropriately. </p>
