Katie has collection of red,green and blue beads, the number of each colour is a prime number and the numbers are all different. She noticed that if she multiplied the number of red beads by the total number of red and green beads she obtained a number exactly 120 greater than the number of blue beads. How many beads of each colour did she have?

Please help I'm going bananas.
