Problem Statement

For distinct complex numbers z1,z2,,z673z_1,z_2,\dots,z_{673}, the polynomial (xz1)3(xz2)3(xz673)3 (x-z_1)^3(x-z_2)^3 \cdots (x-z_{673})^3 can be expressed as x2019+20x2018+19x2017+g(x)x^{2019} + 20x^{2018} + 19x^{2017}+g(x), where g(x)g(x) is a polynomial with complex coefficients and with degree at most 20162016. The value of 1j<k673zjzk \left| \sum_{1 \le j <k \le 673} z_jz_k \right| can be expressed in the form mn\tfrac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
