Numbers n such that 1/a + 1/b + 1/c + 1/a*b*c = m /(a+b+c) where a, b and c are the 3 distinct prime divisors of n, and m is a positive integer such that the equation has infinitely many solutions.

Subset of A033992.
The value m = 12 is probably unique. We find only 3 primitive values of n: 42 = 2*3*7, 70 = 2*5*7 and 231 = 3*7*11.

EXAMPLE
42 is in the sequence because the prime divisors of 42 are 2, 3 and 7 => 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/7 + 1/(2*3*7) = 12/(2+3+7) = 1.
