gsub giving improper replacement

I am doing a simple replacement using gsub

 > gsub('[^0-9.]','',100000)
 [1] "105"

the regexp is to match any non numerical value and replace with ''. Can anyone tell me why I am getting 105?

Thanks in advance

We can set the options for scientific notation as it is converting to scientific notation

options(scipen=999)
gsub('[^0-9.]','',100000)
#[1] "100000"

Without setting the options

sub('[^0-9.]','',100000)
#[1] "1+05"
