Find three prime numbers
$begingroup$
I have to find three prime numbers where, the product of them is equal to seven times of sum of them.
So I wrote the equation:
$x$-1st of them;
$y$-2nd;
$z$-3rd;
$xyz=7(x+y+z)$
${xyzover 7}=x+y+z$
Where $x,y,z$ are prime numbers, so one of them must be $7$.
For example $x$
$yz=(7+y+z)$
Now I have to find these two numbers
I have found $5$ and $3$
$3*5*7=7(15)$
Which is correct.
My question is; Are there any other prime numbers, which
meet the equation?

We have $7mid xyz$, so that one of the primes $x,y,z$ is $7$. Without loss of generality, $x=7$. Then $yz=7+y+z$. However, very quickly $yz$ is bigger than $7+y+z$, and we are done.

If " ${xyzover 7}=x+y+z $ Where x,y,z is prime number, so one of them must be 7." is not the same as " We have $ 7mid xyz $ so that one of the primes x,y,z is 7." I would be blind...

$yz=y+z+7$ is the same as $(y-1)(z-1)=8$

You have concluded that we may assume that $pq=7+p+q$ and $ple q$ for primes $p,q$. For $pge 7$ we see that $pq>p+q+7$. So it is enough to check the cases $p=2,3,5$. We see that the only solution is $p=3$ and $q=5$, up to permutation of $p$ and $q$.
