My favorite numbers VI (Posted on 2010-11-21) Difficulty: 4 of 5
Determine all possible sextuplet(s) (A, B, C, D, E, F), with B < C, E < F and, A < D, that satisfy this system of equations:

A/(B*C) = D - E - F, and:

D/(E*F) = A - B - C

Prove that these are the only sextuplet(s) that exist.

Just trying out some numbers, and I get

(4,1,2,8,2,4)

 4/(1*2) = 8-2-4
 8/(2*4) = 4-1-2

I'm definitely not claiming this is a full solution.  Not yet.
