1995 AIME Problem 11

A right rectangular prism P_{} (i.e., a rectangular parallelepiped) has sides of integral length a, b, c, with a\le b\le c. A plane parallel to one of the faces of P_{} cuts P_{} into two prisms, one of which is similar to P_{}, and both of which have nonzero volume. Given that b=1995, for how many ordered triples (a, b, c) does such a plane exist?

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
