Problem Statement

Find all positive integer triples (x,y,z)(x,y,z) such that x<y<zx<y<z, gcd(x,y)=6\gcd (x,y)=6, gcd(y,z)=10\gcd (y,z)=10, gcd(x,z)=8\gcd (x,z)=8, and lcm(x,y,z)=2400(x,y,z)=2400. Note that the problems of the TST are not arranged in difficulty (Problem 1 of day 1 was probably the most difficult!)
