[Challenge] Find the numbers of this sum

In a certain numeric base, something curious happens if you sum the same three-digit number three times: ABC ABC ABC + ______ CCC Consider that A, B and C are the digits of these numbers in that specific base. Now, write a code able to answer these two questions: 1) Find numbers ABC and CCC for base 10, if possible. 2) Find numbers ABC and CCC for a base given by the user, if possible. If it is not possible, show a message saying it is impossible. :( Solutions must be non-trivial, that is: ABC and CCC must not equal zero. All weapons welcome! Let's do this!! EDIT: I just wrote a code so you people can check your results. https://code.sololearn.com/cwP2kkt0h2Eq/

Without program - in base 10: 185 185 185 ------- 555 This is easily determined by a simple award: the last digit multiplied by 3 gave the result ending in it. This property is possessed by 0 and 5. Obviously, 0 is not good. Further similarly computes the remaining digits.
