Solution:

From x y = z > x = z / y xy = z -> x = z/y

x z = y > x = y / z xz = y -> x = y/z

x = y z x = yz

\therefore We can conclude that x = z / y = y / z = y z ( 1 ) x = z/y = y/z = yz (1)

So, z / y = y / z > z = + / y z/y = y/z -> z = {+/- y}

From x = z / y > x = + / 1 x = z/y -> x = {+/-1}

From ( 1 ) (1) , we can see that y / z = y z > ( y z 2 y ) = 0 > y = 0 , z = + / 1 y/z = yz -> (yz^2 - y) = 0 -> y = 0 , z = {+/- 1}

Since x = + / 1 a n d z = + / 1 x = {+/- 1} and z = {+/- 1} , from the equation, xz = y, we can create 4 4 values of y resulting to have a 4 t r i p l e t s 4 triplets . Also remember that y = 0 y = 0 so, therefore, there are 5 5 values of y resulting to have a 5 t r i p l e t s \boxed{5 triplets} .
