Problem

The arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means of two different positive integers are integer numbers. Find the smallest possible value for the arithmetic mean.

Note: If $a$ and $b$ are positive numbers, their arithmetic, geometric and harmonic means are, respectively: $\frac{a+b}{2}$, $\sqrt{ab}$, and $\frac{2ab}{a+b}$.
