What kind of integer? Fixed precision or arbitrary precision?
Suggest you start with:
#include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp>
using boost::multiprecision::int1024_t; // fixed precision 1024-bit
integer, or:
using boost::multiprecision::cpp_int; // arbitrary precision integer
See
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_66_0/libs/multiprecision/doc/html/boost_multiprecision/tut/ints/cpp_int.html
for other typedefs and examples.
>and how do I specify the number of whole number points and decimal
points,before starting my operations?
That question makes no sense for integer types.

If you want arbitrary precision then try:
#include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp>
using boost::multiprecision::cpp_rational; // arbitrary precision
rational
or:
#include <boost/multiprecision/cpp_int.hpp>
#include <boost/rational.hpp>
using boost::multiprecision::int1024_t; // fixed precision 1024-bit
integer, or:
typedef boost::rational<int1024> rational_1024_t; // 1024 bit fixed
precision rational
As before your other questions make no sense for these types.
See

Really??? Eulers constant as an integer? I think you need to re-think
that question.
