Sum of the functions

Level 2

f ( x , y ) = ( 1 1 x ) ( 1 1 x + 1 ) ( 1 1 x + 2 ) . . . ( 1 1 y ) f(x, y) = \left(1 - \dfrac{1}{x}\right) \left(1 - \dfrac{1}{x + 1}\right) \left(1 - \dfrac{1}{x + 2}\right) ... \left(1 - \dfrac{1}{y}\right)

Function f ( x ) f(x) is defined as above, where x x and y y are integers such that 1 < x y 1 < x \leq y .

If S = f ( 2 , 2014 ) + f ( 3 , 2014 ) + f ( 4 , 2014 ) + . . . + f ( 2013 , 2014 ) = a b S = f(2, 2014) + f(3, 2014) + f(4, 2014) +...+ f(2013, 2014) = \dfrac ab , where a a and b b are coprime positive integers, what is the last three digits of a + b a + b ?
