# A conjecture on partitions of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ [closed]

Conjecture: Let $n$ $∈$ $N$. Then for each factor $m ≥ n$ of $n$($n + 1$)/$2$, one can partition the set $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots , n\}$ into disjoint subsets such that the sum of elements in each subset is equal to $m$.

The conjecture is based on numerical evidence.

• This is an interesting question! You write 'prove that...' not 'is it true that...?' or 'prove or give a counterexample...'. What makes you so sure that it is true? Did you compute lots of examples? – Vincent Oct 11 '16 at 10:44
• Yeah i did compute some examples and i made this conjecture. – dark_night_returns Oct 11 '16 at 11:01
• Anyone who can settle this ??? – dark_night_returns Oct 11 '16 at 12:04
• I’ve edited the question to make it clear that this is a conjecture, in hopes of forestalling a fifth vote to close it. – Brian M. Scott Oct 13 '16 at 7:07
• Possible duplicate of Partition of ${1, 2, ... , n}$ into subsets with equal sums. – Tad Oct 16 '16 at 2:30
