Can someone explain me why when I convert a large number, such as 252423456784635, to a string that it is being converted such as 2.524E+15?

I use a simple code such as:
? INT(RAND()*10000000000000000000)
? STR(INT(RAND()*10000000000000000000))
The first one will print 252423456784635. But, the second one will pring 2.524E+15.
