Merge two number with the integers at corresponding position together (without using str)

Let's say I have two integers, a = 123 and b = 4567 I want to make a function that will take these two integers and return 1425367

So far I've written this but it simply disregards the last number

Here's the code so far

Edit: I know I used str but I don't know any other way to something question

def f(a,b):      sa, sb = list(str(a)), list(str(b))      i, j = 0, 0      s = ""      while i < len(sa) and j < len(sb):          s += sa[i]          s += sb[j]          i += 1          j += 1      return s    print(f(23,56))```
