Prime triples and geometric sequences

Problem 518

Published on 30 May 2015 at 04:00 pm [Server Time]

Let S(n) = a+b+c over all triples (a,b,c) such that:

  • a, b, and c are prime numbers.
  • a < b < c < n.
  • a+1, b+1, and c+1 form a geometric sequence.

For example, S(100) = 1035 with the following triples:

(2, 5, 11), (2, 11, 47), (5, 11, 23), (5, 17, 53), (7, 11, 17), (7, 23, 71), (11, 23, 47), (17, 23, 31), (17, 41, 97), (31, 47, 71), (71, 83, 97)

Find S(108).
