Problem Statement

We say that a natural number nn is interesting if it can be written in the form
n=1a+1b+1c, n = \left\lfloor \frac{1}{a} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{1}{b} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{1}{c} \right\rfloor, where a,b,ca,b,c are positive real numbers such that a+b+c=1.a + b + c = 1.
Determine all interesting numbers. ( x\lfloor x \rfloor denotes the greatest integer not greater than xx.)
