Dividing both sides of the inequality by the expression on the right gives an equivalent inequality

$\displaystyle \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^{a-b} \left(\frac{b}{c}\right)^{b-c} \left(\frac{a}{c}\right)^{a-c} > 1$,

which holds since the bases $\frac{a}{b}, \frac{b}{c}, \frac{a}{c}$ are all greater than 1 and the exponents $a-b, b-c, a-c$ are all positive.
