I have a really niche question that maybe doesn't even have a solution

[wheat kestrel]

So, let's say I have a big number, like 100090798, I want to somehow get specific parts of that number using math. I have this available for use. To demonstrate what I need to do, basically, let's take the number from earlier, 100090798, I want to be able to somehow get 0798 or 0009 or 9079 by changing one variable. I'm sorry if I didn't choose a good tag, this is my first time posting here

Hm... You can try rounding the number to a specific digit, then subtracting the result from the initial number.

I meant rounding down, by the way.
So, for example, if you want to get 9079 from 100090798:

1. Round 100090798 to 10^6. You get 100000000.
2. Subtract the result. You get 90798.
3. Round 90798 to 10^1. You get 90790.
4. Divide the result by 10. You get 90790.
