class Solution:
    def maximum69Number (self, num: int) -> int:
        k = -1
        p = 0
        curr = num

        while curr > 0:
            d = curr % 10
            if d == 6:
                k = p

            p += 1  
            curr //= 10

        if k == -1: return num

        return num + 3 * 10 ** k
