I have defined one column of an array as voltage and another column of any array as current. When I multiply voltage by current the answer given is incorrect as it has been divided by 1000. Why is this?

I noticed that the comment 1.0e+004 * appears when the answer (Power) is given

Power =

1.0e+004 *

0.1168
0.0918
0.0918
0.0863
0.0835
Thanks for any help
