Hi,
Try this:
summary(x,digits=max(5))
#   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max. 
  #  1.0  6901.5 13802.0 13802.0 20702.0 27603.0 
A.K.

Subject: [R] max & summary contradict each other

why does summary report max 27600 and not 27603?

> x <- c(27603, 1)
> max(x)
[1] 27603
> summary(x)
   Min. 1st Qu.  Median    Mean 3rd Qu.    Max. 
      1    6902   13800   13800   20700   27600
