Boost already has the Boost.Multiprecision library which implements the
numbers with arbitrary precision. I think one of the best way for you is to
look at https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2013.
If you are interested with multiprecision you could see
https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/SoC2013#Boost.Multiprecision
