Show us your code.

Usually "the mathematical way to do it" works in Python too.
Although there will likely be other ways that may sometimes
run faster or easier to code.

But until we see your code we can't comment on what you
are doing.

One way to try would be continually dividing by 10 until you
get a non-zero remainder. Count the number of divisions
necessary. Hint: The divmod() function may help here.
