On day one, there are $100$ particles in a laboratory experiment. On day $n$, where $n \geq 2$, one out of every $n$ particles produces another particle. If the total number of particles in the laboratory experiment increases to $1000$ on day $\mathrm{m}$, then $\mathrm{m}$ equals
- $19$
- $17$
- $16$
- $18$
