How does PHP handle large integer values when converting them to floating point numbers?

When converting large integer values to floating point numbers in PHP, precision can be lost due to the limitations of floating point representation. To handle this issue, you can use the `bcmath` extension in PHP, which provides arbitrary precision arithmetic functions for working with large numbers. 

$largeInteger = "123456789012345678901234567890";
$floatValue = bcdiv($largeInteger, "1", 10);

echo $floatValue;
