Hint: Let $p$ be any prime and without loss of generality order $a,b,c$ so that $\nu_p(a)\geq \nu_p(b)\geq \nu_p(c)$ ($\nu_p(n)$ is the number of times $p$ divides $n$ for any positive integer $n$ and prime $p$). Can you show that the number of times $p$ divides the left side is the same as the number of times $p$ divides the right side?
