Abstract: In this paper, it is shown that the number of partitions of a nonnegative integer
with
parts can be described by a set of
polynomials of degree
in
, where
denotes the least common multiple of the
integers
and
denotes the quotient of
when divided by
. In addition, the sets of the
polynomials are obtained and shown explicitly for
and
