Actually, they are not integers.  They are doubles.  That is
why they have the scientific notation.  They may have started
out as integers, but they were cast to doubles sometime along
the way.  You can prevent casts using the savespace() method of
Numeric arrays.  But note that Numeric uses 32 bit integers and
so many of your values would cause a 32 bit int to overflow...
