Nth digit from Most significant digit side

I want to write a function int returnNthDigit(long long int number, int position) {} such that it returns the Nth position digit from the left side. e.g. returnNthDigit(45006, 1); must return 4. Similarly, returnNthDigit(45006, 2); must return 5. I am not allowed to use any looping statement. Here is one solution I came up with by using loops.

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>

int returnNthDigit(long long int number, int position)
{
    int numberOfDigits = log10(number) + 1;
    int iteration = numberOfDigits - position;
    while (iteration != 0)
    {
        number = number / 10;
        --iteration;
    }
    return number % 10;
}

int main() {
    std:: ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
    std:: cout << returnNthDigit(230045, 5);
    return 0;
}

Can I do better?
