The number itself isn't in scientific notation or a fixed point number,
but is a floating point number that is expressed internally as an
integer times a power of 2 (that is the basic representation format for
floating point).

Scientific notation vs fixed point notation is purely an OUTPUT
configuration, not a function on how the number is stored (so in one
sense IS more closely linked to a string than the float itself).
