You are given two positive integers, n and m. Your task is to find the sum of all integers in the range from 1 to m (inclusive) that are divisible by n, and the sum of all integers in the same range that are not divisible by n.

Let sum_divisible be the sum of numbers from 1 to m that are divisible by n.

Let sumnotdivisible be the sum of numbers from 1 to m that are not divisible by n.

You must calculate and return the difference: sumnotdivisible - sum_divisible.
