I am doing it just like i would do it by hand finding the biggest digit first. 
To do that i need to know nearest base^exp that is less than the actual number. 
Add up the digit (multiply) it to the nearest smaller multiple. Subtract that 
number (base^exp*multiple). 

Divide / Scale down the exponent with base. And record the digit.
And start looking for next digit doing same manipulation until remainder = 0.

And that is what i am doing.
