In MATLAB, you can use the format function to set the display precision of the output. Specifically, you can use the following syntax to set different display formats:

  1. keep it brief
  2. please display in a detailed format
  3. shorten into e-format
  4. Display the results in a long scientific format.

For example, if you want to set the result to display with 15 significant figures, you can use the following code:

format long

Simply call the appropriate format function when higher precision is needed.
