calculate differentiation with large coefficient

Please help me
I'm trying to solve differential equation with this script using diff, but the coefficient result appear as a big series of number. How can I simplified it the coefficient?
omeganol=2.5;
E=50;
I=30;
L=600;
syms x
y=omeganol/(120*E*I*L)*(-x^5+2*600^2*x^3-600^4*x)
y = 
ydif=diff(y)
ydif =

Use sym() to get accurate values.
The ideal approach would be to use sym() on every unique number.
omeganol=2.5;
E=50;
I=30;
L=600;
syms x
y=omeganol/sym(120*E*I*L)*(-x^5+2*600^2*x^3-600^4*x)
y = 
ydif=diff(y)
ydif =

Here is a bit improved solution:
omeganol=2.5;
E=50;
I=30;
L=600;
syms y(x)
y(x)=vpa(omeganol/(120*E*I*L)*(-x^5+2*600^2*x^3-600^4*x))
y(x) = 
ydif=diff(y(x))
ydif =

Hi,
MATLAB offers a function named simplify, which can help simplify different algebraic expressions.
omeganol=2.5;
E=50;
I=30;
L=600;
syms x
y1=simplify(omeganol/(120*E*I*L)*(-x^5+2*600^2*x^3-600^4*x))
y1 = 
y=omeganol/(120*E*I*L)*(-x^5+2*600^2*x^3-600^4*x)
y = 
Since the fraction is irrational, MATLAB prefers keeping it in the fraction form instead of converting it to scientific notation.
