i had an idea where the answer is just summation ((n)/k) + ((n-1)/k) + ... till n is k-1 , but idk if that's true or not , or how to calculate it fast

Let j-i=q*k

j-i=x

x=k,2*k,3*k....,(n/k)*k

Let n/k=t (integer division)

n>=j>=x

Number of solutions is n-k+1+(n-2*k+1)+(n-3*k+1)...(n-t+1)=n*t+t-k*t*(t+1)/2

      j-i is multiple of k

      All multiples of k<=n are k,2*k,3*k,,,t*k

      Let x=q*k

      j-i=x

      As i>=0 Hence j>=x

      also j<=n

      Number of such j is n-x+1

      x ranges from k,2*k,...t*k
