One is being added at unit place, so let x be a number
10x+1 = 3(x+10^5)
therefore x = 42857

Solution:

The 5 digit number is: 42857

The number with a one after it is 10x + 1. With a 1 before it, it is 100,000 + x. Then 10x +1 = 3(100,000 + x), and x = 42,857. Therefor the 5 digit number is: 42857
