MONDAY, 25 FEBRUARY 2013

Today is the $56^{th}$ day of the year.

$56 = 2^3 \times 7$

$56$ is the number of times that $11$ can be partitioned. A partition of a number is the number of different ways that the number can be written as a sum of integers where the order is not significant. Thus $11$ has the following partitions:

  1. $11$
  2. $10 + 1$
  3. $9 + 2$
  4. $8 + 3$
  5. $7 + 4$
  6. $6 + 5$
  7. $9 + 1 + 1$
  8. $8 + 2 + 1$
  9. $7 + 3 + 1$
