Need help with float values - Jacob - 09-20-2013
I'm dealing with huge numbers, which far exceed integer values. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly how to use floats. If you can help then please add my skype.

what programming language are you using. If you use python then python can handle very large integer values. Please give some example of what exactly is your requirement.

You can try these functions. Quite useful. It use string to represent large number.
Code:
<?php
$a = '24564641435345463424254686854646363636252525265768588';
$b = '54625264243535545453452321175765353454424568693422525';
var_dump(bcadd($a, $b)); // $a + $b, return string
var_dump(bcsub($a, $b)); // $a - $b, return string
var_dump(bcmul($a, $b)); // $a * $b, return string
var_dump(bcdiv($b, $a)); // $b / $a, return string
