For every real number x x x , let ⌊ x ⌋ \lfloor x\rfloor ⌊ x ⌋ denote the greatest integer not exceeding x x x , and let f ( x ) = ⌊ x ⌋ ( 2014 x − ⌊ x ⌋ − 1 ) . f(x)=\lfloor x\rfloor(2014^{x-\lfloor x\rfloor}-1). f ( x ) = ⌊ x ⌋ ( 201 4 x − ⌊ x ⌋ − 1 ) . The set of all numbers x x x such that 1 ≤ x < 2014 1\leq x<2014 1 ≤ x < 2014 and f ( x ) ≤ 1 f(x)\leq 1 f ( x ) ≤ 1 is a union of disjoint intervals. What is the sum of the lengths of those intervals?
