Unhappy Counting and sort

Hello friends,

I have the following data:

abc-xyz
abc = 0-999
xyz = 0-999

and there are 10000 lines or more:

Example of data file:

123000
123001
123004
123005
123004
123004
123008
123008
123008
123008
246599
246700
246999
246999
246999
246999
246999
246888
246881
246999
357001
357888
357999
357999
357999
357999
357999
357999
357999
357999

I am looking for a script which will count the number of times the same number repeat. My result from the given data above should be:

123000 1
123001 1
123004 3
123005 1
123008 4
246599 1
246700 1
246881 1
246888 1
246999 6
357001 1
357888 1
357999 8

Thanks!
