I'm trying to write a matrix but the numbers are changing. What could be the reason?

The values are not changing. You are mixing up two different things:
There is no one canononical way to display numbers (or numeric values), what you see are simply those values displayed using the default display FORMAT (which happens to have four decimal places and a common multiplier in the top left corner). Use the FORMAT function if you want some other display format.
