Definition
An $abc$-triple is a solution of the equation $a + b = c$ in (non-zero) coprime integers $a$, $b$, $c$. We call the $abc$-triple $p$-smooth if the largest prime factor of the product $abc$ is at most $p$. This list contains the number $n(p)$ of $p$-smooth $abc$-triples for small values of $p$.
Parameters
$p$
—   integer (prime)
Formulas
(1)
We can mod out a symmetry by requiring $0 < a \leq b < c$. If $n'(p)$ denotes the number of such constrained $p$-smooth $abc$-triples, then $n(p) = 6n'(p) - 3$. This is due to a $6$-fold symmetry (by the anharmonic group [7], which is isomorphic to $S_3$), which is only $3$-fold for the solution $1+1=2$.
(2)
Let $q = \log\max(|a|,|b|,|c|)/\log\rm{rad}(abc)$ denote the quality of an $abc$-triple. The abc-conjecture [6] states that $\limsup q = 1$, that is, for every $\varepsilon > 0$ there are only finitely many $abc$-triples of quality $q > 1+\varepsilon$.
(3)
A lower bound for $n(p)$ can be deduced from Theorem 4 of [1].

An upper bound for $n(p)$ can be deduced from Theorem 1 of [2].
