very big or small det of a matrix

Determinant i.e. det(x) in som cases computes very small or very big numbers. Matlab displays them as zero, but I know that thery are below 10e-300 (Im not sure is it 300 or 312?= or above 10e300. I see them as zero but If I change parameters I got e.g. 1837363e-277. Is it possible to change the range of displaying and achieve numbers smaller than 10e-300 ?

Using:
format long g
But I'd be extremly careful if a determinant has such a small value: Due to rounding errors it is hard to estimate if this value is reliable.

While a determinant can get very small due to cancelation errors, they cannot grow by accident. The upper limit of the value is limited by the values of the elements of the matrix.
