a(3)(baseN) = least number m such that the quotient m/3 is obtained merely by shifting the leftmost digit (MSD) of m to the right end (LSD), and the multiple 3m by shifting the LSD of m to the MSD, in order of increasing number base, N.

COMMENTS
1001b2, 10b3 and 51b7 do not triple by specified shift and are not included although they allow MSD->LSD shift to make m/3. No 2-digit number qualifies because the shift is an exchange (e.g., 51b7/3=15b7). 2076b11 is the highest order number of this type to be represented without letter digits.
EXAMPLE
2076b11/3=762b11 (2745/3=915) and 3*2076b11=6207b11 (3*2745=8235).
