a%5E3b+=+abc
%28a%5E3b%29%2F%28ab%29+=+c
a%5E2+=+c

There is not enough information to get a numerical value for c; we can only determine that c = a^2.

a%5E3b+=+180
b+=+180%2Fa%5E3

Thus we have a parametric representation of the infinite set of solutions to the problem:

(a,b,c) = (t, 180/t^3, t^2)

e.g.,
(1,180,1)
(2,45/2,4)
(3,20/3,9)
etc...
