Your application has a certain intrinsic level of accuracy in its original data. For example, if your measurements are accurate to 1 mm then you can work in tenths of millimeters. Just don't think of them as "fractions of a meter", although you may represent them that way on the screen or page. When you do an operation in floating point, you can represent the result with many decimal places. but that doesn't mean your numbers are actual accurate to all those decimal places. It behooves all of us to keep track of how much real resolution we have on our numbers. And why can't you use a Forth that has the facilities you need?
