You can use the formula:
((max-min)/distance between two consecutive integer)) +1

We can solve above question much more easily by this formula:

max number divisible to 3 = 198
min number divisible to 3 = 102

So total number between 100 and 200 that is divisible to 3 = (198-102)/3 + 1 = 33

Hey kishore, I used the following method.

Since the question is asking for the number BETWEEN, I just subtracted 100 from 200 and divided 100 by 3, which returned a quotient of 33 (I ignored the remainder since we are asked for the number of integers).

Is my correct answer and accident or just another approach to this problem?

@AleksandrM

This would not always work. Say if the question gave the range of 102 to 200. Difference = 98. Quotient when 98 is divided by 3 = 32. Which isn't the right answer.

The techniques discussed in the posts above are the right ones.

Thanks.
