Let $M \geq 1$ be a real number. Determine all natural numbers $n$ for which there exist distinct natural numbers $a$, $b$, $c > M$, such that
$n = (a,b) \cdot (b,c) + (b,c) \cdot (c,a) + (c,a) \cdot (a,b)$
(where $(x,y)$ denotes the greatest common divisor of natural numbers $x$ and $y$).

In triangle $ABC$ with $CA=CB$, point $E$ lies on the circumcircle of $ABC$ such that $\angle ECB=90^{\circ}$. The line through $E$ parallel to $CB$ intersects $CA$ in $F$ and $AB$ in $G$. Prove that the center of the circumcircle of triangle $EGB$ lies on the circumcircle of triangle $ECF$.

Let three real numbers $a,b,c\geq 0$, no two of which are $0$. Prove that:
$$\sqrt{\frac{a^2+bc}{b^2+c^2}}+\sqrt{\frac{b^2+ca}{c^2+a^2}}+\sqrt{\frac{c^2+ab}{a^2+b^2}}\geq 2+\sqrt{\frac{ab+bc+ca}{a^2+b^2+c^2}}.$$

$1399$ points and some chords between them is given.
$a)$ In every step we can take two chords $RS,PQ$ with a common point other than $P,Q,R,S$ and erase exactly one of $RS,PQ$ and draw $PS,PR,QS,QR$ let $s$ be the minimum of chords after some steps. Find the maximum of $s$ over all initial positions.
$b)$ In every step we can take two chords $RS,PQ$ with a common point other than $P,Q,R,S$ and erase both of $RS,PQ$ and draw $PS,PR,QS,QR$ let $s$ be the minimum of chords after some steps. Find the maximum of $s$ over all initial positions.
