Integer Partitions
If you have four coins, you can split them into piles in five different ways:
s(4)=5. If s(x) is the number of ways to split x coins, find the minimum value of x for which s(x) is divisible by 100 000 (one hundred thousand).
A• 12 547

Re: Integer Partitions
Hi;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Integer Partitions?

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

Re: Integer Partitions
Hi Transcending,
I suggest you use more relevant subject lines for your posts. If we have your permission, we can change them.
Your problems are pretty interesting. Do you mind if I use them elsewhere?

Re: Integer Partitions
Please feel free to change the subject lines. They are not my problems. However, I did not see any copyright restrictions where I found them so I personally don't mind if you use them.
