If the sum of all positive divisors (including itself) of a positive integer $n$ is $2n$, then $n$ is called a perfect number. For example, the sum of the positive divisors of 6 is $1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 2 \times 6$, hence 6 is a perfect number. Prove: There does not exist a perfect number of the form $p^a q^b r^c$, where $a, b, c$ are positive integers, and $p, q, r$ are odd primes.
