Minimum number of power terms with sum equal to n | Return minimum power terms of x required.
if x is 1 , return n since any power of 1 is 1 only ..
Consider n = a * x + b where a = n / x and b = n % x ..
Update count of powers for 1 's added.
Repeat the process for reduced n.
Driver code"
How can the above be solved in Python?

#Here is code to minimum number of power terms with sum equal to n and the other steps required.
 def minPower ( n , x ) :
	if ( x == 1 ) :
		return n
	ans = 0
	while ( n > 0 ) :
		ans += ( n % x )
		n //= x
	return ans
n = 5
x = 3
print ( minPower ( n , x ) )
