The notation 1.78E12 (also known as scientific notation) means that the number is written in the form of A x 10^B, where A is the decimal part and B is the exponent. In this case, 1.78E12 means 1.78 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 12.
So, the product of the two large numbers that Charlee is trying to find is equal to 1.78 multiplied by 10 raised to the power of 12.
