I suggest you ...

implement a real number type that supports exact arithmetic

a real number type that lazily increases its precision when needed up to a maximum user-defined precision.

        That would essentially be a fixed-precision number, i.e. a System.Numerics.BigInteger with a fixed number of bits (or maybe digits) shifted virtually to the right of the comma? As opposed to e.g. a rational number constructed as a fraction of two BigIntegers?
