    Please provide problem in minimal reproducible form, i.e. so that anyone else can *easily* copy it from your post & paste it into their session & see the results. All code, library statements & inputs must be provided & if large they need to be cut down to the minimal size that will still illustrate problem. Post output of `dput(whatever)` to show input data reproducibly.

    If you need to suppress the scientific notation, `options(scipen=999); apply(x,2,min)` – akrun Dec 25 '15 at 11:47

Have you tried sapply()? Sapply() is a user-friendly version and wrapper of lapply by default returning a vector, matrix or, if simplify = "array", an array if appropriate

i want the value in decimal format itself

Run options(scipen=10) before running other code. If it doesn't help, replace 10 with higher value (up to 999).
