Indeed I neglected the part about b dividing c.


    4   kill "conscnt.txt"
    5   open "conscnt.txt" for output as #2
   10   for C=1 to 10000000
   20   F=1//2520+1//C
   30   B=2//F
   40   if B=int(B) then if C @ B=0 then print B,C,C/B:print #2,B,C,C/B:Ct=Ct+1
   50   next
   60   print Ct:print #2,Ct
