I'm doing a project related to 8051 micro controller, it is required to
handle floating point numbers to a great precision.
is there any way with which this can be done easily with 8051 or is there

Floating-point numbers of any precision are just bits. An algorithm to
manipulate them can be implemented on any architecture. However if
your application requires lots of floating-point, given no further
information, 8051 would seem to be an appallingly bad choice.
