2.944E7 isn't a syntax error, it's another way of writing 2.944 * 107. If you're not familiar, it's generally called scientific notation and it provides an easier way to write very large or very small numbers. :)

In your calculator settings, change your float to "float 12" - this will help for a lot (but not all) really large/really small numbers :)
