Define $f(x, y)$ to be $\frac{|x|}{|y|}$ if that value is a positive integer, $\frac{|y|}{|x|}$ if that value is a positive integer, and zero otherwise. We say that a sequence of integers $\ell_1$ through $\ell_n$ is [i]good [/i] if $f(\ell_i, \ell_{i+1})$ is nonzero for all $i$ where $1 \le i \le n - 1$, and the score of the sequence is $\sum^{n-1}_{i=1} f(\ell_i, \ell_{i+1})$

Given a positive integer $n$ with prime factorization $p_1^{e_1}p_2^{e_2}... p_k^{e_k}$ , we define $f(n)$ to be $\sum^k_{i=1}p_ie_i$. In other words, $f(n)$ is the sum of the prime divisors of $n$, counted with multiplicities. Let $M$ be the largest odd integer such that $f(M) = 2023$, and $m$ the smallest odd integer so that $f(m) = 2023$. Suppose that $\frac{M}{m}$ equals $p_1^{e_1}p_2^{e_2}... p_l^{e_l}$ , where the $e_i$ are all nonzero integers and the $p_i$ are primes. Find $\left| \sum^l_{i=1} (p_i + e_i) \right|$.
