digs 0 = []

digs x = x `mod` 1000 : digs (x `div` 1000)

@ifan: map (printf "%03d" :: Int -> String) (digs 24889375).

The most idiomatic way to do this is to use the functions map and show.

Prelude> map show [375,889,24]
["375","889","024"]

show can be used to convert most values to a string. map applies that function to every element of a list map.
