This questions appears somewhat strange in the context of SQL Server.
How is your data stored?
In SQL Server there are two data types for floating-point values,
real and float. real values have a 24-bit mantissa and 7-bit exponent
and float have a 53-bit mantissa.
Using these in the manner you ask for. If you have
DECLARE @a real, @b real, @c real
...
SELECT @a * @b * @c
SQL Server first (probably) computes @a * @b which yields a new real
number which then is multiplied with @c.
