Yes. 5e6 means 5 x 10^6, or 5 million. Its a different form of scientific notation.

Yes. That's the notation commonly used in science and mathematics. It literally means 5 times 10 raised to the power of 6.
10 to the power of 6 is 10*10*10*10*10*10 which is one million.

e^6 = 403.4 and 5e^6 = 2017

5 millions = 5 10^6 !!!
