Determine all triples of positive integers $a, b, c$ that satisfy a) $[a, b] + [a, c] + [b, c] = [a, b, c]$. b) $[a, b] + [a, c] + [b, c] = [a, b, c] + (a, b, c)$. Remark: Here $[x, y$] denotes the least common multiple of positive integers $x$ and $y$, and $(x, y)$ denotes their greatest common divisor.
