Here is my simple solution with Python:

def solve(s,g):
    answer = []
    original_s = s
    while s % g == 0:
        if int(s / g) <= g:
            answer.append(g)
            break

        s = int(s / g)

    if s != original_s and len(answer) == 0:
        answer.append(g)

    if len(answer) == 0:
        return -1

    answer.append(original_s - answer[0])

    return tuple(answer)
