Thanks JosyB. Indeed my initial guess assumed linear relation but it is not so. It is equal from 0~radix then gets sudden glitch.

I assume the following algorithm will work:

if your input is say 1137 then run a decimal counter from 0 till 1136 and stop.

run also say 4 counters (for four digits) from 0~11 in cascade i.e. when first counter reaches 0 increment the second and so on.

When counting finishes then read the 4 digits(output of four counters as 0~B
