We say that a natural number $n$ is interesting if it can be written in the form \[ n = \left\lfloor \frac{1}{a} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{1}{b} \right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{1}{c} \right\rfloor, \] where $a,b,c$ are positive real numbers such that $a + b + c = 1.$ Determine all interesting numbers. ( $\lfloor x \rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer not greater than $x$.)
