Minecraft cutting out large area with command blocks
I am using 1.8.9, and I need to clear out a large area under ground. I have the coordinates, and I have written a code but it is not working.
In my command block the code is:
/fill ~-317.700 ~7.000000 ~-82.700 ~-274.300 ~30.00000 ~-30.374 air
My upper diagonal coordinates are (X)-274.300 (Y)30.00000 (Z)-30.374
my lower diagonal coordinates are (X)-317.700 (Y)7.000000 (Z)-82.700

Your command does not seem to be correct.
/fill ~-317.700 ~7.000000 ~-82.700 ~-274.300 ~30.00000 ~-30.374 air
the ~ symbol means at player's command block's coordinates. For example, if you want to set a block 1 block above, then you would do:
/setblock ~ ~1 ~ stone
That would set the co-ords to be same as command blocks, but Y + 1 (notice the ~1).
Your command also has decimal coordinates. Blocks always have full coordinates (there can never be a block moved half-way. If this was possible, you could see blocks clipping into each other).
I actually tried using decimal points with setblock, but if I have Y as 50.9, then the block places at 50
/fill -316 7 -82 -274 30 -30 air
This is roughly how your command should be. Note: I rounded the numbers, so it might not be accurate.
You can use the F3 menu for measuring co-ordinates. However, I recommend using the Looking at coordinate which will measure the block you are looking at quite literally.

The area you want to clear depends on your use case. You have to think about coordinates.
My most common use case is i want to clear a mountain in front of me, but none of the ground under me.
I use
/fill ~-15 ~ ~-15 ~15 ~30 ~15 air
