An algebra problem by Shubham Haldēr

Algebra Level 4

Suppose that a , b a, b and c c are non-zero numbers that satisfy

1 a + 1 b + 1 c = 1 a + b + c . \dfrac1a + \dfrac1b + \dfrac1c = \dfrac1{a+b+c}.

If n n is an integer such that

1 a n + 1 b n + 1 c n = 1 a n + b n + c n , \dfrac1{a^n} + \dfrac1{b^n} + \dfrac1{c^n} = \dfrac1{a^n+b^n+c^n},

then what is the best classification of n n ?
