There are three flies of negligible size that start at the same position on a circular track with circumference 1000 meters. They fly clockwise at speeds of 2, 6, and kk meters per second, respectively, where kk is some positive integer with 7≤k≤20137\le k \le 2013. Suppose that at some point in time, all three flies meet at a location different from their starting point. How many possible values of kk are there?
