Yes, it can be done.

It is just unbelievably long process.

1st.  List all candidates x*Y s.t. the product is divisible by 75.

2.  For each x and for each y  apply  the method desribed by the solvers of a problem I've posted (I  even gave away a recursive equation).

It is called " So many quintuplets " . You may apply the method  mutatis mutandis   to the triplets forming x and y within the appropriate cinstraints.

Hope you are  not going to actually do it.
