problem

Fisica and Ritmo discovered a piece of Notalium shaped like a rectangular box, and wanted to find its volume. To do so, Fisica measured its three dimensions using a ruler with infinite precision, multiplied the results and rounded the product to the nearest cubic centimeter, getting a result of VV cubic centimeters. Ritmo, on the other hand, measured each dimension to the nearest centimeter and multiplied the rounded measurements, getting a result of 2017 cubic centimeters. Find the positive difference between the least and greatest possible positive values for VV.

Original LaTeX notation
Fisica and Ritmo discovered a piece of Notalium shaped like a rectangular box, and wanted to find its volume. To do so, Fisica measured its three dimensions using a ruler with infinite precision, multiplied the results and rounded the product to the nearest cubic centimeter, getting a result of $V$ cubic centimeters. Ritmo, on the other hand, measured each dimension to the nearest centimeter and multiplied the rounded measurements, getting a result of 2017 cubic centimeters. Find the positive difference between the least and greatest possible positive values for $V$.
