Alexandrian Integers

December 13, 2008

We shall call a positive integer A an "Alexandrian integer", if there exist integers p, q, r such that:

A = p · q · r    and  
1
A
=
1
p
+
1
q
+
1
r

For example, 630 is an Alexandrian integer (p = 5, q = −7, r = −18). In fact, 630 is the 6th Alexandrian integer, the first 6 Alexandrian integers being: 6, 42, 120, 156, 420 and 630.

Find the 150000th Alexandrian integer.
