Default Preserve Excel formula entry

When I type an arithmetic formula into a cell, excel automatically condenses
it. For instance, =3/27 becomes =.1111111. I am not referring to the
displayed value, but the actual entry in the cell. How can I turn this
"feature" off? It is important, because when I return to the sheet months
later, the full formula helps me to remember how I decided to calculate the
result.
