How to set the precision in it any gud document on net in this regard... could help me!!! and also if using in awk do this will work, if not then how to make any approach over their??

I am not sure what u want. You can user printf to print the result with desired precision.
Eg:
echo "10/3"|bc -l|xargs printf "%.2f"

In awk the syntax for printf is similar to the printf in C,C++

# echo "scale=4;10/3" | bc
3.3333
