To partition a positive integer you write it as a sum of other positive integers, all possible ways.

Since there are nearly 200 million ways of partitioning 100, I don't fancy trying to partition 1331 ( = 113)!

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_(number_theory)

Thanks, Alan! The partition theory sure is detailed! 

 

Yep, DS, well at least we learn something new each time.
