The product P of three positive integers is 6 times their sum, and one of these three positive integers is the sum of the other two, then what is the sum of all possible values of P?

Let two of the numbers be x, y. As one of the numbers is sum of the other two, the third number will be (x+y).
Given that, Product of the numbers = 6 (Sum of the numbers)
=>x*y*(x+y) = 6 (x+y+x+y)
=> xy(x+y) = 12(x+y)
=> (x+y)(xy-12) = 0
As the given numbers are positive integers, x+y shall not be zero
=> xy-12 = 0 => xy = 12
The possible number sets are:
1,12,13 with a product of 1*12*13 = 156
(or)
2,6,8 with a product of 2*6*8 = 96
(or)
3,4,7 with a product of 3*4*7 = 84

The sum of all posible products = 156+96+84 = 336

Excellent! Are you the same vemuri who used to post here in the gone days, and now joined again with a different name? Just curious...
