Pick up an hex digit from a mpz_t integer

[Sam Rawlins]

Your example does not use any mpz_t integers, but I'll give you the benefit
of the doubt, and assume you mean that number is an mpz_t, and not a char*:

If you have an mpz_t, number, you can convert to a hexadecimal
representation in a char* with mpz_get_str() [1], like so:

    mpz_get_str(my_char_pointer, 16, number);

>From there, you can use standard C and string functions to pluck out the
hexadecimal digit you are looking for.
