The problem

You are given a 0-indexed array of positive integers nums. A triplet of three distinct indices (i, j, k) is called a single divisor triplet of nums if nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k] is divisible by exactly one of nums[i], nums[j], or nums[k].

Example

Input
nums = [4,6,7,3,2]
Output
12
Explanation
The triplets (0, 3, 4), (0, 4, 3), (3, 0, 4), (3, 4, 0), (4, 0, 3), and (4, 3, 0) have the values of [4, 3, 2] (or a permutation of [4, 3, 2]).

Python solution

Python
class Solution:
    def singleDivisorTriplet(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        cnt = Counter(nums)
        ans = 0
        for a, x in cnt.items():
            for b, y in cnt.items():
                for c, z in cnt.items():
                    s = a + b + c
                    if sum(s % v == 0 for v in (a, b, c)) == 1:
                        if a == b:
                            ans += x * (x - 1) * z
                        elif a == c:
                            ans += x * (x - 1) * y
                        elif b == c:
                            ans += x * y * (y - 1)
                        else:
                            ans += x * y * z
        return ans
