The rectangular parallelepiped (box)
P
P
P
has some special properties. If one dimension of
P
P
P
were doubled and another dimension were halved, then the surface area of
P
P
P
would stay the same. If instead one dimension of
P
P
P
were tripled and another dimension were divided by
3
3
3
, then the surface area of
P
P
P
would still stay the same. If the middle (by length) dimension of
P
P
P
is
1
1
1
, compute the least possible volume of
P
P
P
.
