   let a,b,c be integers
   how many triplets are possible for
   (1+1/a)(1+1/b)(1+1/c) = 3

   Why don't you multiply it out and see what happens?

   What have you tried so far? Yours seems like a standard max/min problem that can be done, e.g., by Lagrange multipliers.

   Maybe if you tell us more about the context of the problem and the areas that you
   
   know, we can have a better way of suggesting something useful.
