For any positive integer $n$, $i,j,k$ are also positive integers, and $0 . How many solutions of the form $(i,j,k)$ are there for the equation $ijk = (n-i)(n-j)(n-k)$?

    If $i=j=k$ then $(2i,i,i,i)$ is a solution for all $i$. Set $n=i+j$ we get the another solution set $(i+j, i, j,\frac{i+j}{2})$. Replacing even $i$ & $j$ we get one set $(2i+2j, 2i, 2j, i+j)$. For both odd we get another $(2i+2j+2, 2i+1,2j+1, i+j+1)$2015-07-11
