If $m$ is the sum of all multiples of $3$ between $1$ and $100$, then that is the sum of all multiples between $1$ and $5$, plus all multiples between $5$ and $95$ and all multiples between $95$ and $100$.

Don't read what's below

All multiples between $1$ and $5$ is $3$. The sum of all multiples between $5$ and $95$ is $n$. And the multples between $95$ and $100$ are $96$ and $99$.

Really. Do NOT read what's below!

So $m = 3 + n +96 +99 = n + 198$.

Surely, you don't need to read what's below.

ANd $m -n = (n+198)-n = 198$

And under NO circumstances read what is hidden below!!!
