From x to y

Level pending

Let x x and y y be integers such that 1 < x y 1<x\leq y , and the function f f be defined as

f ( x , y ) = k = x y ( 1 1 k ) f(x,y)=\displaystyle\prod_{k=x}^y \left(1-\frac{1}{k}\right)

If S = k = 2 2014 f ( k , 2014 ) S=\displaystyle\sum_{k=2}^{2014} {f(k, 2014)} , then the exact value of S S can be expressed as a mixed number a b c a\frac{b}{c} , where a a is a positive integer and b b and c c are positive coprime integers. What is the value of a 10 b 10 c a-10b-10c ?


The answer is 976.
