def decd (n, base):
"""
Decompose numeric value 'n' into components k[0:n]
such that n = sum (k[N-i]*base[M-i]) for i=0...N
where N is the length of k and M is the length of
base.
Examples:
To convert 310255 seconds to [days, hours, minutes, seconds]:
decd (310255, [3600*24, 3600, 60, 1])
[3, 14, 10, 55]
To convert 86.182 hours to [days, hours, minutes, seconds]:
decd (86.182, [24, 1, 1./60, 1./3600])
[3.0, 14.0, 10.0, 55.0]
To convert 78 (decimal) to binary:
decd (78, [128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1])
[0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0]
To break a decimal number into digits:
decd (463, [1000, 100, 10, 1])
[0, 4, 6, 3]

r = []
for b in base:
d, n = divmod (n, b)
r.append (d)
return r
