$123$-Numbers

We define $123$-numbers as follows:

  • $1$ is the smallest $123$-number.
  • When written in base $10$ the only digits that can be present are “$1$”, “$2$” and “$3$” and if present the number of times they each occur is also a $123$-number.

So $2$ is a $123$-number, since it consists of one digit “$2$” and $1$ is a $123$-number. Therefore, $33$ is a $123$-number as well since it consists of two digits “$3$” and $2$ is a $123$-number.
On the other hand, $1111$ is not a $123$-number, since it contains $4$ digits “$1$” and $4$ is not a $123$-number.

In ascending order, the first $123$-numbers are:
$1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, 31, 32, 33, 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, 123, 131, \ldots$

Let $F(n)$ be the $n$-th $123$-number. For example $F(4)=11$, $F(10)=31$, $F(40)=1112$, $F(1000)=1223321$ and $F(6000)= 2333333333323$.

Find $F(111\ 111\ 111\ 111\ 222\ 333)$. Give your answer modulo $123\ 123\ 123$.


$123$-数

$123$-数的定义如下:

  • $1$是最小的$123$数。
  • 在$10$进制下,这个数只由数字”$1$”、”$2$”和”$3$”组成,且这些数字要么不出现,要么其出现次数也是$123$-数。

所以,$2$是个$123$-数,因为它包含一个”$2$”而$1$是个$123$-数。进而$33$也是个$123$-数,因为它包含两个”$3$”而$2$是个$123$-数。
反之,$1111$不是个$123$-数,因为它包含$4$个”$1$”而$4$不是个$123$-数。

将所有$123$-数从小到大排列,最初的一部分是:
$1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 23, 31, 32, 33, 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, 123, 131, \ldots$

记$F(n)$为第$n$个$123$-数。例如,$F(4)=11$,$F(10)=31$,$F(40)=1112$,$F(1000)=1223321$,$F(6000)= 2333333333323$。

求$F(111\ 111\ 111\ 111\ 222\ 333)$,并将你的答案对$123\ 123\ 123$取余。
