This is the correct way. You construct a string with the digits 1, 2,
4, 2 etc, and mpz_set_str converts it to a large integer of type
mpz_t.

This is wrong. For the second argument, you try to construct a native
C integer with the value 1242314132514525151252151234343434343434, but
C integers can't be that big, so the compiler will complain.

Yes. p will be of type mpz_t, and its value is
12423141325145251512521512343434343434.
