I think you have spaces between the numbers and excel treats this as text.
Lets try removing the spaces using, Edit - Replace and hit space bar once on
click on replace. It will remove the space between the numbers. do you have

How about try format - Cell - select Number and check the box for Use 1000

If this doesn't work, you need change your format using Value function.
=value(A1)
