A075248 Number of solutions (x,y,z) to 5/n = 1/x + 1/y + 1/z satisfying 0 < x < y < z. 12

COMMENTS
All of the solutions can be printed by removing the comment symbols from the Mathematica program. For the solution (x,y,z) having the largest z value, see (A075249, A075250, A075251). See A073101 for the 4/n conjecture due to Erdős and Straus.

EXAMPLE
a(4)=2 because there are two solutions: 5/4 = 1/1 + 1/5 + 1/20 and 5/4 = 1/1 + 1/6 + 1/12.
