Petya and Vasya only know positive integers not exceeding $10^9-4000$. Petya considers numbers as good which are representable in the form $abc+ab+ac+bc$, where $a,b$ and $c$ are natural numbers not less than $100$. Vasya considers numbers as good which are representable in the form $xyz-x-y-z$, where $x,y$ and $z$ are natural numbers strictly bigger than $100$. For which of them are there more good numbers?
