hello folks..
I'm doing a project related to 8051 micro controller, it is required to
handle floating point numbers to a great precision.

If the standard 4-byte float is sufficient for the "great precision", then you can use the floating point library which is supplied with just about any C compiler for x51.

is there any way with which this can be done easily with 8051 or is there
any mathematical controller that can do a better job?

If you have several kilobytes of ROM space and you don't mind few hundred CPU cycles per one floating point operation, the x51 would do.
